A chip van near Arford
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Arford, fried fresh
Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Typical bookings include friday lunch treats and project milestones, with cod and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Arford can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Send a message round when the van opens.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 usually the easier option.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. After-work summer events in Arford have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
