Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In winter, it’s dark in North Street by about 3:50pm, so an afternoon wake in winter needs lighting near the van. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
