Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, fill in our quote form.
How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Summer events in Bradwell have daylight until about 9:30pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food brings people in on cooler days. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
