Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Agree the terms in writing
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
