Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
We take our used oil and waste with us.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
