How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Autumn and winter parties in St Ann's Green get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Ensure the van can park legally
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Why choose a fish and chip van in St Ann's Green?
Next to a DIY barbecue, the host is not stuck cooking all afternoon. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
