Working with your venue
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Barford? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Send allergies to us in writing
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
