Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Duckett's Green questions
Could you trade in Ducketts Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Yes, that is what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van come to Duckett's Green?
We do. We serve events in Duckett's Green and across Greater London. Send us your date to check availability.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
