Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
Do you take everything away?

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
The process
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. We handle the cooking and serving. For a staff lunch in Andwell, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- All the chip-shop extras
About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your staff
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
