Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

From the hatch
- Cod and chips
- Evening fish and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
