Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Give us break and shift times
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Ask staff to pre-order

Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.

Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

Planning the van’s spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

  • A spot near your staff
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

From the hatch

  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Mushy peas
  • Staff lunches
  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips

Organising for someone else?

For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

A chip van compared with other options

For a staff treat people will remember, a chip van is hard to beat. 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.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Burford

Is Burford close to London?

About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Which station is closest to Burford?

Shipton station, about 4.5 miles north-east of the centre.

How soon do we need to book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

Do we need to provide anything?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.

Do you take everything away?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.

What does the van need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
