Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in East Wellow drops to about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.

- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

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.
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.
What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A spot near your guests
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
