Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

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.

About the food

Mushy peas

Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

What happens on the day

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Sunset in Quarrendon Estate is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.

Preparing for the day

  • A clear area by the serving hatch

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Diets, allergies and planning

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Show us where the van would go
  • Tell us how many children are coming
  • Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
  • Put allergy details in writing

Put bins and napkins near the hatch.

Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

Prices and what affects them

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Numbers
  • The menu and how many choices
  • Travel, tolls and road charges

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

Details that help

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Allergies and diets you know about
