How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer events in Birchett's Green have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- 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’re done.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
