DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Information about power and water
- Access that avoids crowds
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
