How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Lunchtime staff treats in Cudham are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
