Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. 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.

About the food

Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Parking and the way in
- The number of meals
- The length of service
The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Cosham, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
