Planning an event in Ansty?
How it works
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. For a staff lunch in Ansty, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Share the shift pattern
- Consider a pre-order list
- Collect allergies in advance
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
