Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Let your neighbours know
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Flag any coeliac guests
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Finish with the birthday cake.
What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Crossbush, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Clear the route for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Crossbush
Can you serve near the sea around Crossbush?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Crossbush too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll advise.
