How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For an evening event in Damerham, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.

A chip van compared with other options
One good hot-food van can be enough at a smaller event, with cakes and teas alongside. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- No surprises in your quote
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
