How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Steventon, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 9:00pm and 7:10pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.

- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.

Should I sort the food myself?
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 is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Away from emergency access
- Access the van can manage
- With the serving side away from windows
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
On the menu in Steventon
