About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your staff event. A lunch-break van visit in Bar End is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Corporate buffets are generally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
