- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Sunset in Lee-on-the-Solent in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
