Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
What the van needs
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Staff lunches
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a staff lunch in South Ambersham, 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.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is generally ideal.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Food your guests will love
Pie and chips

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
