A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Sunset in Wierton is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

Common questions in Wierton
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Wierton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Wierton.
