How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Midsummer parties in North Camp stay bright until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- 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
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
