Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Book as early as possible for December
- Plan cover for the queue
- Confirm allergies by email
Plan cover for the queue.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. An afternoon Christmas party in Sherington can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 3:50pm; light the path to the van.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Questions from Sherington
Is Sherington close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Sherington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
