What happens on the day

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In Pease Pottage, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Before we arrive

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Have a level parking spot ready
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

How to get a price

Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

What does the van need?

What a fish and chip van costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Service time
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • The minimum booking
  • Distance and any road charges

A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.

Details that help

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • Expected numbers
  • The address or venue name
  • The date and time of the event

To get a price, fill in our quote form. Tell us about your staff event in Pease Pottage, and we’ll check the date and send a price.

Allergies and dietary needs

Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Share the shift pattern
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
  • Consider a pre-order list

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

What comes out of the fryer

Haddock and chips

Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
