DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. In Micheldever, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm.

FAQs for Micheldever
How far is Micheldever from London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in Micheldever?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Tell us about the pitch
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
