Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Name a friend or coordinator as our contact
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A string of lights by the hatch makes a great photo.
Before you choose a spot
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:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
