The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Lunchtime bookings in Plaish are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Ensure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Confirm allergies by email
- Share the shift pattern
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Plaish is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Questions from Plaish
Is Plaish too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve near the sea around Plaish?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. See all areas.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll talk you through booking and payment.
