Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Midsummer parties in Upper Arncott stay bright until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- 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
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
