What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- Space for people to queue at the hatch

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
