- The cancellation terms
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is usually the best value.

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your staff event. In Ecchinswell, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
