Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are usually cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. 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.
Why book with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- No kitchen needed
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Lunchtime staff treats in Appledore Heath are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
