- Exactly what’s included in the price
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Why book our van in Foreland Fields

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Foreland Fields questions
Do you come out to small places like Foreland Fields?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Saint Luke?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What do you need at the house?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Foreland Fields, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
