Space, access and the venue
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A spot near your staff
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Let us know about coeliac disease

- Collect allergies in advance
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a staff lunch in Hipley, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day

- Get permission for the van from the venue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What else we do in Hipley
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Why book our van in Hipley

- Classic food your staff already know

Common questions in Hipley
How far is Hipley from London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Hipley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What can staff choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
