Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Send allergies to us in writing
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Lunchtime bookings in Laleham are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
