Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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 usually simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Share the base location and route
- Put allergy details in writing
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
A chip van compared with other options
Wrap parties add up. A van keeps it relaxed and simple. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
