A chip van compared with other options
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Staff lunches
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in Cuckfield is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know the serving time
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Food your guests will love

Common questions in Cuckfield
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Cuckfield?
The closest is Haywards Heath station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
- 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
