Should I sort the food myself?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.

Occasions we serve in Capel-le-Ferne

Hot food in the car park, rain or shine, because the cooking is inside the van.

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

Staff thank-you lunches
Open days
Team away days
Charity and fundraising days at work

Historic houses near Capel-le-Ferne include Acrise Place (4.2 miles north-west). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.

Diets, allergies and planning

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

Check with facilities where the van can park
Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
Collect allergies in advance
Put allergy details in writing

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

We will give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:

How far we travel
The menu and how many choices
The minimum booking
Parking and the way in

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Details that help

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:

Where the event is
Roughly how many people, including children
The date and when you’d like to eat
A picture of where the van would go

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

How it works

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Lunchtime bookings in Capel-le-Ferne are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.

First, the plan: what, where and what time.
You hear back on the date and the price.
The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Give us a contact for the day
Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

How to get a price

Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll check availability right away.

Capel-le-Ferne: your questions answered

What’s the nearest station to Capel-le-Ferne?

The closest is Folkestone Central station, roughly 2.4 miles away.

Can you serve near the sea around Capel-le-Ferne?

Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Can you cook in the rain?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

How does payment work for businesses?

We’ll talk you through booking and payment.

What about staff who don’t eat fish?

There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.

How much space do you need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Do you bring everything you need?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Working with your venue

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
