For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Lickfold? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Information about power and water
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
