What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
Porchfield is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Places near Porchfield
What else we do in Porchfield
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Porchfield: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Porchfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve near the sea around Porchfield?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
What paperwork do you provide?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
A chip van compared with other options
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Organising for someone else?
