Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Classic food your visitors already know
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Summer fêtes in Kimbridge have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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
- Clear the route for the van
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
