Step by step
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In summer, Holt End has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
How to get a price

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
