The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Davington until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Make sure the van can get in
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Davington questions
Could you trade in Oare Meadow?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
