Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Questions from Somerley
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Somerley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you have documents for our site?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For a staff lunch in Somerley, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.
What you get with us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Send round an allergy question
After the last group, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
What affects the price in Somerley
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
