The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Cackle Street; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
