- How easy the site is to reach
- Numbers
- How long we serve
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- A photo of the parking spot
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your staff
- Confirmation that the van can park there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Share the shift pattern
- Consider a pre-order list
- Find out what documents the site needs
Send a message round when the van opens, and stagger departments if you can.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Common questions in Aston Upthorpe
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Aston Upthorpe too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What you get with us

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
