The South Downs National Park is within about 3 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. The coast is within about 6 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. For a staff lunch in Berwick, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Berwick questions
How far is Berwick from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Berwick too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before you book.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A short walk from the party
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
From the hatch

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
- 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
