Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Questions from Crown Wood
Is Crown Wood close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Crown Wood?
The closest is Martins Heron station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
