Book the van in South Harefield
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. For a late-May party in South Harefield, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For event organisers in South Harefield
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
