Exton: your questions answered
How far is Exton from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Exton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you have documents for our site?
Send us your site’s list, and we will go through it with you.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
About our corporate fish and chip catering in Exton
Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Typical bookings include open days and customer events and friday lunch treats, serving sausage and chips, pie and chips and mushy peas.
Rural businesses around Exton can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
For shift teams, we serve in waves.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
What affects the price in Exton
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- How easy the site is to reach
- The length of service
- Numbers
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
