How it works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. An afternoon Christmas party in New Charlton can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:55pm; light the path to the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in

At the time you choose. Plan lighting, as it is dark early.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. What matters most:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Keep the queue dry
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
A bit of festive music by the van helps.
