The van can park on a drive, a hardstanding or a firm lawn, with the serving hatch towards the garden. Typical bookings include anniversary celebrations and family reunions, serving gravy, sausage and chips and cod and chips.
Near Sole Street, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Step by step

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Show us where the van would go
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let your neighbours know
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
