Planners, venues and businesses

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. 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. A van is designed for exactly this.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Summer events in Kingston Gorse have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
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.

How long does set-up take?
