Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Popular choices include mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and typical bookings are for staff thank-you lunches and friday lunch treats.
Near Beckley, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Summer events after work in Beckley have light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:45pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs

- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Let us know about coeliac disease
Put bins near the hatch.
Some teams make it a regular treat.

Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
What you get with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- All the chip-shop extras

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
