A chip van near Dukes Green

How our corporate fish and chip catering works in Dukes Green

It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. We serve mushy peas, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for summer team days and retirement send-offs.

Rural businesses around Dukes Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.

What a fish and chip van costs

The price comes down to a few factors:

  • Parking and the way in
  • Numbers
  • Your choice of menu
  • Any minimum charge

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Getting an accurate quote

You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:

  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Expected numbers
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Planning for dietary needs

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet

Send a message round when the van opens.

Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.

Dukes Green: your questions answered

Can you serve near the sea around Dukes Green?

Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Is Dukes Green too small for a chip van?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Is everything cooked fresh?

It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Do you take everything away?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

How long will the queue be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Can you park on the road outside?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Dukes Green?

We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.

The process

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. For a staff lunch in Dukes Green, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
