Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The day of the week
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. A lunch-break van visit in Noke Common is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 4:00pm in December or 7:10pm in late September.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
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.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Noke Common questions
Can the van park in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

We take the van across London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. See all areas.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
