Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Give us separate numbers for children

Plan cover in case of showers.
Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. At midsummer, it is light in Stonecrouch until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Let us know the serving time

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
