DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is 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.

Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
