Planning an event in Coombe Hill?
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. December events in Coombe Hill lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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
- Ensure the van can get in

Is parking a problem for the van in Coombe Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
