Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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 generally simpler.
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.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space in front of the hatch
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Permission for the van at base
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
