Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

How the day works
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. In Lewson Street, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
