DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about the pitch
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Arrange bins and waste collection
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
