That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
