Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. Long summer days in Bagnor, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it is nearer 7:10pm.

- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
