DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Agree who removes waste
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. December events in Cranmore lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
