Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and time of the event
It is easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Corporate fish and chip catering in Maxton, cooked to order
Office teams, drivers and warehouse staff all love it, because fish and chips is food everyone knows. Whether it is staff thank-you lunches and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of pie and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
Rural businesses around Maxton can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a chip van lunch is welcome. Everything is fried fresh at your staff event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A lunch-break van visit in Maxton is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Maxton questions
How far is Maxton from London?
About 65 miles from central London.
Is Maxton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will plan it with you.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
