Fresh fish and chips in Friday Hill
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Step by step
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Summer fêtes in Friday Hill have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
