Planning an event in Oving?
Step by step
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your staff event. In Oving, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your 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.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Let us know about coeliac disease

A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
Common questions in Oving
Can you serve near the sea around Oving?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Oving close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will talk you through booking and payment.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How far we travel
- Numbers
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- Where the van would park
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
