The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Daylight is short on winter shoots near Farleigh Wallop: sunset is about 4:00pm, so lunch at base is frequently in daylight but a wrap meal is not.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
