- Count children separately
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
After service, we pack up.

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Stokenchurch, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
