DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Add an allergy question to your invitations
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Give us separate numbers for children
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van for everyone.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
SE13 questions
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
What happens when we hire the van?
We bring the van to your event, set up, heat the fryers and cook to order, serving from the hatch at the time you choose.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
