- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. For an evening event in Brandfold, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 usually simpler.

- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
