Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
