Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Your kitchen could cook it, but a van turns it into an occasion. The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Why Oakley hosts choose us
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- All the chip-shop extras
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. In Oakley, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:10pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
