Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Mushy peas
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For a staff lunch in Crowell, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us a contact for the day
