What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the queue dry
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Friern Barnet in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Give us a contact for the day
