Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why us?
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- A menu almost everyone likes
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
