Organising for someone else?

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.

How it works

We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your staff event in Kencot. A lunch-break van visit in Kencot is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

How to prepare

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Plan where the queue will stand

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.

Pie and chips

Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.

What affects the price in Kencot

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • The length of service
  • Parking and the way in
  • The minimum booking
  • How many people are eating

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.

Details that help

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

  • The date and time of the event
  • A picture of where the van would go
  • Expected numbers
  • Dietary needs, with numbers

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Allergies and dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Ask facilities about access

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

For a staff treat people will remember, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Kencot. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
