DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, Little Milton has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Keep space clear for crew at the hatch

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few crew with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Give us a map or what3words for base
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Name a contact in the production office
Fewer choices mean faster service.
Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- A clear route to base
- A queue area clear of trucks
- Light near the van if needed
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
