- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the hatch
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Gravy
- Pie and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Show us where the van would go
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count children separately
- Have a back-up for special diets
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a late-May party in Allbrook, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
