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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Information about power and water
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas

Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. December events in Farley Hill lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
