How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Finstock is about 9:30pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Where the van can park in Finstock
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
