How it works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. For a staff lunch in Clayton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, 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.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready

Questions from Clayton
How far is Clayton from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Clayton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Clayton?
We do. We serve events in Clayton and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards typically work well.
Can you serve each shift?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
