How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Autumn and winter parties in Warborough get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Confirm allergies by email
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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’s crisp.
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.

The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
