The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Staff generally gather round the hatch once service starts. For an end-of-day event in East Hendred, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it is about 9:00pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- 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.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Events in East Hendred and across Oxfordshire
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
When service is finished, we pack up.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
