  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Service time
  • The date and time of year
  • Cod, haddock or both

Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

How to compare vans

How the day works

The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Buckland, summer gives you light until about 9:30pm; in late May it is about 9:00pm.

  1. You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
  2. You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
  5. We pack up and leave the space as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Give us a contact for the day
  • Tell us when you want to eat

  • A clear area by the serving hatch
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. A van comes to you. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Why Buckland hosts choose us

  • The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
  • Quick service from the hatch
  • Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

FAQs for Buckland

Is Buckland too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How far is Buckland from London?

About 62 miles from central London.

How does payment work for businesses?

We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.

Do you do customer events and open days?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.

Do you have documents for our site?

Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.

Do you take everything away?

We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Is there a non-fish option?

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Planners, venues and businesses

Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

  • 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
