How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Whitwell in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Check the van can park on site
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
We park somewhere lit and get the fryers hot.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
Working with your venue
