DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Crew typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Long summer days in Streatley, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
