Compared with cooking a barbecue yourself, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

- All the chip-shop extras

Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 typically simpler.
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.
