Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Pie and chips

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. Winter fairs in Bashley are dark by about 4:05pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
