The menu, dish by dish

Cod and chips

Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many people are eating
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Distance and any road charges
  • The minimum booking

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Getting an accurate quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:

  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • A photo of the parking spot

Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

What happens on the day

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. For an end-of-day event in Lurgashall, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.

  1. Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Before we arrive

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Looking after everyone

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:

  • Flag any coeliac staff
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Give us break and shift times
  • Check the site’s requirements for caterers

Put bins near the hatch.

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

Space, access and the venue

Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch

Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we serve

  • Mushy peas
  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Haddock and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips

Should I sort the food myself?

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Is the food cooked at the event?

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
