What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
For somewhere as remote as Gunville, early notice helps us plan the trip.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

About our corporate fish and chip catering in Gunville
The van parks in the car park or yard, so staff do not have to go anywhere. On the menu are pie and chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff appreciation days and summer staff parties.
Rural businesses around Gunville can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Before you book anyone
- How much space the van takes up
- Whether travel is included
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- When final numbers are due
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- Access and parking
- How many people are eating
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
When service is finished, we pack up.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Questions from Gunville
Could you trade in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Gunville?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Lunchtime bookings in Gunville are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
