The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Collect allergies in advance
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat in Lower Assendon. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why book our van in Lower Assendon
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A menu almost everyone likes
- No kitchen needed
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
