What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Send round an allergy question
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check with facilities where the van can park
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. For a staff lunch in Horley, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
