DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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.
What happens on the day
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. For an end-of-day event in Hatchet Green, summer gives you light until about 9:25pm; in late May it’s about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Hatchet Green
Is Hatchet Green 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.

We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you come to Hatchet Green?

Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
