For event organisers in Upper Woolhampton
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
