DA10: your questions answered
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
- 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
