Takeaway run or book a van?
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’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Share the base location and route
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Agree how the base is left
- Give us a contact for call-time changes
Fewer choices mean faster service.
End the shoot with a chip van wrap.

Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
What if the weather’s bad?

Usually, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.

- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
