Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Mushy peas
