How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Sunset in Slindon Common drops to about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 nobody has to miss the party.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Put allergy details in writing
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Mention the van to neighbours
After service, we pack up.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
