A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Before you choose a spot

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Keep the queue away from the road.

What else we do in Great Holcombe
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, it is light in Great Holcombe until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
