Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Mannings Heath
How far is Mannings Heath from London?
About 32 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Mannings Heath too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. A lunch-break van visit in Mannings Heath is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
