Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Bradwell Abbey, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

- Plan bins near the queue
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Fewer choices mean faster service
A short menu keeps service quick, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
