Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.

Questions from Minsted
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St James?

About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

Can you come to a street party?

How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
