Fresh fish and chips in Draycott
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Draycott, fried fresh
We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so each group can eat within its break. On the menu are sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for staff thank-you lunches and celebrating a big win.
For farms and rural sites near Draycott, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Collect allergies in advance
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
When service is finished, we pack up.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Common questions in Draycott
How far is Draycott from London?
About 45 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Draycott too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
A chip van compared with other options
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. After-work summer events in Draycott have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- 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.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
Getting a price
