Book the van in Nettlecombe
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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. A lunch-break van visit in Nettlecombe is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
