How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December events in Albany Park lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share any nut or allergy policies
If we’re feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
