A chip van near Shorthampton
How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically 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 Shorthampton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Clear the route for the van
Ask for a quote

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Shorthampton
Is Shorthampton too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Shorthampton from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- How easy the site is to reach
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Expected numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary needs, with numbers
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
