For event organisers in South Moreton
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In South Moreton, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
