Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Barbecues cook in batches, and someone has to stand over the grill. With a van, nobody misses the event. Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.

Occasions we serve in Letcombe Regis
On a grey day, hot fish and chips wins, and the van keeps frying whatever the weather.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Garden parties and summer get-togethers
- Gatherings after a funeral
- Village fêtes and school fairs
- Visits to care homes and day centres
Churches such as Church of St Andrew rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by generally does.
Comparing caterers
- How allergens are handled
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- When final numbers are due
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Count children separately
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat.

How fast is service?
