A closer look at the menu

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Summer fêtes in Bovingdon Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A chip van compared with other options
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
