Planning a team lunch in Iping

Iping is about 7 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. For staff events in Iping, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields in and around Iping. We take the van to 371 places in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 19 miles away.

Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Liphook station, about 5 miles north. Within reach of Iping are historic houses such as Cowdray House (2.5 miles east). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van. With the South Downs National Park within about 3 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange.

This part of West Sussex takes in GU29. Other places close to Iping we cover include Stedham (1 mile south-east), Minsted (1 mile south), Woolbeding (1 mile east), Bepton Common (2 miles south-east) and Midhurst (2 miles south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Bognor Regis (15 miles south), Chichester (11 miles south), Emsworth (12 miles south-west), Billingshurst (15 miles east), Portfield (11 miles south) and Yapton (15 miles south-east).

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:

  • Distance and any road charges
  • Service time
  • Numbers
  • The minimum booking

There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

What we need to know

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • A picture of the parking spot

Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your staff event, and we’ll firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Iping

Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Do you come out to small places like Iping?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Do you do customer events and open days?

We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.

What do we need to supply?

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.

What’s on the menu?

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

How quickly can you serve everyone?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Is grass a problem?

That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.

What if we only have street parking?

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Why us?

  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • Hot food handed straight over
  • The queue at the hatch gets people talking
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site

Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.

Where the van can park in Iping

We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

  • A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
  • A short walk from the party
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

On the menu in Iping

  • Staff lunches
  • Pie and chips

Food your guests will love

Sausage and chips

Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and children love it.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.

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 happens on the day

We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer events after work in Iping have light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:55pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. We clear up and leave the site as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Make sure the van can get in

Ask for a quote

We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
