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.

Open days and customer events work well too: people gather at the van and linger. Typical bookings include summer staff parties and celebrating a big win, with pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas.
Teams near Hillborough frequently go for a lunch in the yard or car park. Let us know about the site. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and served the moment it comes out of the fryer.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Hillborough questions
Can the van park in Bishopstone Cliffs?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Hillborough?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
