Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. In Chilton, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Give us a contact for the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Do you come out to small places like Chilton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van be part of the photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we will park out of shot where possible.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van come to Chilton?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Chilton is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Prices and what affects them

- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Anything awkward about the way in

- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the parking spot
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
- 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
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
