How the day works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Planning an evening event in Milton Regis? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand

For a rural spot like Milton Regis, the setting does plenty of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
