Planning an event in Funtington?
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Step by step
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Winter weddings in Funtington are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
