DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Update numbers if they change
- Add an allergy question to crew forms
Supporting artists and visitors can be included in numbers.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.
Other occasions in Broughton Crossing
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. The van cooks on site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
Why Broughton Crossing hosts choose us
- No kitchen needed
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

Usually, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
