Can’t 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 usually the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

Why book with us
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- A van that becomes part of the event
