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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

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

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Confirm numbers the day before.

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
