Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Among the historic houses close to Golden Cross are Horselunges Manor (3.1 miles west) and Michelham Priory (4.6 miles west).

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Golden Cross until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
