Book the van in Staplecross
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Staplecross, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
