DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Priestwood, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
