Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. A summer party in Dane Hill stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Share the timings for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
