Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening usually works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Carter's Clay by about 4:00pm, 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.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
