Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What affects the price in North Leigh
These are the factors that matter most:
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Any dietary needs and allergies
The quickest way to a quote is to fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. At midsummer, events in North Leigh stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
