Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is one dish, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Rain does not stop the fryers
- Classic food your guests already know
- A van that becomes part of the event
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Sunset in Golden Cross drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Do you come out to small places like Golden Cross?

What do you need at the house?
