What else we do in Chesterton
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. December in Chesterton means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
