DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. 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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Bellingham? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
