Rural businesses around Chiddingfold can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Lunchtime staff treats in Chiddingfold are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Give us a contact for the day

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Ask facilities about access
- Consider a pre-order list
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Plan an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- Any minimum charge
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.

We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.

What about staff who do not eat fish?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
