How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Lunchtime staff treats in Mark Cross are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Questions from Mark Cross
Do you come out to small places like Mark Cross?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before booking.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Space, access and the venue
If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are usually cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Classic food your staff already know
- No surprises in your quote
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
