How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Long summer days in Shottermill, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- It starts with the unit base, dates and numbers.
- You get an access check and a quote.
- We agree the van’s position and arrival with the location manager.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- We pack up straight after service and leave the base tidy.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
