DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
