Planning a chip van in Nutcombe

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Put allergy details in writing
After service, we pack up, leaving the pitch tidy.
Tell people when the van opens, so they do not miss out.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
From the hatch
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce

- Pie and chips

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
