DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

FAQs for Ecchinswell
Is Ecchinswell too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Ecchinswell close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
