The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Winter fairs in Buckland are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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.
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
