How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your party. A summer party in Woodway stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the drive tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
