Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For an end-of-day event in Lower Horncroft, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning help
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
