A fish and chip van or other catering?
Takeaway for a whole office arrives late and cold. The van fries on site. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

What else we do in Upper Brailes
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Plan your Christmas party in Upper Brailes around the dark: sunset is about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat

Prices and what affects them
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Your choice of menu
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The address or venue name
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.
