For farms and rural sites near Chalk, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Send round an allergy question
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
Step by step
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Lunchtime bookings in Chalk are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day

What else we do in Chalk
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access and parking

- How far we travel

Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
