Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Autumn and winter parties in Upper Halling get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
