A chip van near Bachelor's Bump
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Christmas party fish and chips in Bachelor's Bump, cooked to order
December dates book up early, so it pays to ask early. Popular choices include sausage and chips, cod and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for warehouse and depot Christmas lunches and festive family gatherings.
In winter near Bachelor's Bump, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

How the day works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In December, it’s dark in Bachelor's Bump by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cook in the rain?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.

- Tell facilities or the venue about the van

- Have a back-up for special diets
- Put allergy details in writing

A bit of festive music by the van helps.
