Planners, venues and businesses
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in East Stratton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
How it works
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. For a staff lunch in East Stratton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

East Stratton: your questions answered
How far is East Stratton from London?
About 54 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to East Stratton?
Micheldever station, about 2.5 miles north-west of the centre.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What affects the price in East Stratton
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The day of the week
- Your choice of menu
- Access and parking
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.
