A chip van compared with other options
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Classic food your guests already know
- Quick service from the hatch

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
