Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Buffets are simple but rarely memorable. A chip van gives guests something to talk about. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A quote that spells everything out
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. At midsummer, it is light in Goose Green until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, 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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
