DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. By late September, sunset in Marsh Green is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.

Getting ready for the day
