DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Fish and chip van for events in Cuxton, fried fresh
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Popular choices include sausage and chips, mushy peas and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater country shows and food for volunteers.
At a field event near Cuxton, power and water may be limited; let us know and we will plan for it. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
