What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. 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.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Count children separately
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Confirm allergies by email
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in.
A few lights around the van look great.
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For a late-May party in Marlow Bottom, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
