Book the van in Durlock
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.
Why us?
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
