The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. A lunch-break van visit in Woodmancote is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
