Upper Ifield questions
Could you trade in Shorne Woods Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.

The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your party. A summer party in Upper Ifield stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, 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’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
- 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
