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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venues offer wake menus. A van works at home or at a hall. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
