Yes, it’s a popular stall. Send us the details.

Whenever suits your party. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. December in Denvilles means early darkness: sunset is about 4:00pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
