The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Sunset in Newton Valence is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
