Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
