DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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’s crisp.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a relaxed celebration, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Everything cooked to order at your event

- A clear quote before booking
