Planning an event in Ifold?
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Ifold, fried fresh
Service is timed to your lunch break or shift pattern, so nobody misses out. Typical bookings include celebrating a big win and thank-you lunches for the team, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Rural businesses around Ifold can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organising a club, school or community event in Ifold? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. A lunch-break van visit in Ifold is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Ifold: your questions answered
Is Ifold 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.
Is Ifold close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will talk you through booking and payment.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where will the van go on our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
