Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Golden-hour photos in Milton Hill at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
