What happens on the day
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. In Hillway, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

Do you come out to small places like Hillway?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to Hillway?
Yes, we do. Hillway is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Other occasions in Hillway
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Roughly how many people, including children
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
