The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Wallington, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Let us know the serving time

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
