A chip van near Gold Street
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Gold Street
Is Gold Street too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Gold Street close to London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. For a staff lunch in Gold Street, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan where the queue will stand
