Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In summer, Offington has daylight until about 9:20pm, 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.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
