Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events after work in Shorne Ridgeway have light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue
