Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
