Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Confirmation the van can trade there
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. December events in Bradwell lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
