Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Common questions in Hollington

About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat.

For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
