Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Share the shift pattern
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Flag any coeliac staff
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

FAQs for East Shefford
Is East Shefford close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you cover East Shefford?
Yes, we do. We serve events in East Shefford and across West Berkshire. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can we pay by invoice?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. A lunch-break van visit in East Shefford is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
