Deane questions
What’s the nearest station to Deane?
Overton station, about 2 miles west of the centre.
Is Deane close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Consider a pre-order list
- Ask facilities about access
- Send allergies to us in writing
After the last group, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. After-work summer events in Deane have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
