- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
