Is Potters Corner too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a staff lunch in Potters Corner, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- We start with a few details about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- A van that becomes part of the event
- A quote that spells everything out
- A menu almost everyone likes
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
