How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is typically the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in New Cross drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
