Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. On a winter shoot near Heyshott Green, the light goes by about 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
