What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In December, daylight in Little Horsted ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
We clear up quickly after lunch.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
