How the day works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. At about 3:55pm in late December, it gets dark in Lower Beeding; light the path to the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
