About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a staff lunch in Drayton St Leonard, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
For a thank-you that lands, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Drayton St Leonard. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.
