A chip van near Longford
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Facilities can deal with us directly, and we will confirm what we can provide for your site’s paperwork. Typical bookings include project milestones and team away days, serving haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Longford, a chip van brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

What else we do in Longford
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Confirm allergies by email
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask staff to pre-order
Put bins near the hatch.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

How the day works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Lunchtime bookings in Longford are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
