What comes out of the fryer

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
For planners, venues and organisers

What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park at our house?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
