Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Plated meals need a kitchen and a bigger team. A van needs only a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Count children separately
- A short menu helps everyone
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Kintbury, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

For event organisers in Kintbury
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
