Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your staff event. For an end-of-day event in Shipley, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it is about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch

What affects the price in Shipley
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the van would park
- The address or venue name
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Shipley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Shipley?
The closest is Billingshurst station, roughly 4 miles away.
How far is Shipley from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards normally work well.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
A chip van compared with other options
Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book our van in Shipley

- A menu almost everyone likes

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
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.
