Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Send us a picture of the drive
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
How the day works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, it is light in Sulham until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
