What else we do in Hinton Waldrist
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Autumn and winter parties in Hinton Waldrist get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
