How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening events in Lindfield have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Contact us 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.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
