DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later, so the food is still fresh.
A covered route from the marquee to the van helps if it rains.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
