What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Light in Kingston Lisle lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check access and send a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.

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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
