Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as St Nicholas' Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Takeaway run or book a van?

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.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

What happens on the day

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. It gets dark in West Itchenor by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light.

  1. We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
