Planning help
Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Put allergy details in writing
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Send people out in groups.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

FAQs for Cliffs End
Could you trade in Sandwich and Pegwell Bay?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
What time is best for food?
Food early on is typically wise, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you cover Cliffs End?
Yes, we do. Cliffs End is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a Christmas meal out, a van brings the meal to the team. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
