DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Faberstown, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is often served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
