Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check the van can park on site
- Keep the queue dry
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot before the party starts.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
Why book with us
- Quick service from the hatch
- A quote that spells everything out
- A menu almost everyone likes
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
