Fish and chip van for events for Privett events
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Summer fêtes in Privett have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
