How the day works
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Eversley Centre, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
