Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask facilities about access
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Collect allergies in advance
For shift teams, we serve in waves, as agreed in advance.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.

A closer look at the menu
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Hillyfields for staff days and team lunches
Hillyfields is about 2 miles north-west of Regents Park, in Southampton. Bookings in Hillyfields come in all shapes and sizes, but it always starts the same way: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. We take the van to 40 places in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
Among the historic houses close to Hillyfields are Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.7 miles south-east) and Medieval Merchant's House (3.8 miles south-east). For a client event at a historic house, ask early about rules for catering vans. By road, Hillyfields is on or near the M271, which makes it easy for us to reach with the van. The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles, which suits team days in the countryside. The coast is within about 4 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
Staff events anywhere in SO16 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many staff. That could mean a staff event at a home on Maplin Road, Colne Avenue and Hayburn Road or the roads around them, wherever the van can park.

Common questions in Hillyfields
Which station is closest to Hillyfields?
The closest is Redbridge station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where will the van go on our site?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Summer events after work in Hillyfields have light until about 9:25pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
