Should I sort the food myself?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we will let you know if we’re available. Popular choices include haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and school fairs and sports days.
