Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

How much space do you need?

Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
