Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
