What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter shoots near Horsebridge chase the light, which goes at about 4:00pm in December, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree how the base is left
- Send final numbers the day before
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Add an allergy question to crew forms

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- 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
