Everything is cooked as people come up, not left out on a table for hours. Typical bookings include big birthdays and street parties, with curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips.

Takeaway run or book a 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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
A chip van compared with other options
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
