DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A chip van compared with other options
