For event organisers in Shurlock Row
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Shurlock Row until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Show us where the van would go
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
