Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, everyone gets a break. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
Why us?
- Hot food handed straight over
- Something for staff to gather round
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Classic food your staff already know
How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an end-of-day event in Donnington, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 9:00pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
