Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Hot food handed straight over
- A menu almost everyone likes
