Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. On the menu are haddock and chips, pie and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for staff appreciation days and customer days.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Chesterton
Is Chesterton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Chesterton?
The closest is Bicester Village station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. For a staff lunch in Chesterton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.
