Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- Access and parking
- The length of service

- The date and time of year
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

- Dietary needs, with numbers

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Long summer days in Strand-on-the-Green, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day
