The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. At midsummer, sunset in Crockhurst Street is about 9:15pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day

What else we do in Crockhurst Street
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Make sure we have someone to call on the day
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Where the van can park in Crockhurst Street

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- 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
