Fresh fish and chips in Heath End
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

It works for customer events and open days as well: people gather at the van and linger. For charity and fundraising days at work and open days, we’ll put together a menu of haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Heath End, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Questions from Heath End
Is Heath End too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Heath End from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Send a message round when the van opens.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
