The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. Light matters for evening service: in Wanshurst Green, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:50pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Share the timings for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
