Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

- Details of any power or water on site
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Confirmation the van can trade there
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
