Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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 usually the easier option.
How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For an evening event in Lewknor, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
