The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. December in Cryers Hill means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
