Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. December visits in Burley are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 4:05pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
