Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
