DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Duddleswell is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
