More for events in Monken Hadley
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Keep the walk from the door to the van short.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
