How it works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first crew wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In December, daylight in Deerton Street ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- 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
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
