How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Sunset in Beckton in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- 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
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
