Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Cranbourne in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Ask for a quote
Send us the date, the address or SL4 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send round an allergy question
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Plan lighting near the hatch
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Festive lights by the van look great.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
