Book the van in Colworth

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

The process

Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. For a late-May party in Colworth, sunset is around 8:50pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

  1. First, tell us about your party.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. We cook to order on the day for your guests.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Let us know the serving time

Organising for someone else?

Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
