Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In December, it’s dark in Snaresbrook by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level parking spot ready
