How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Autumn and winter parties in Puddle Dock get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The minimum booking
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space and the way in
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan.
Gravy
