A chip van compared with other options

Why book with us

For planners, venues and organisers
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.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Evening events need a little planning for light: in North Boarhunt, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

FAQs for North Boarhunt
Is North Boarhunt close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
