Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Perfect for your staff event in South Ascot
It’s hot food on site, whatever the weather, because the cooking is inside the van.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Open days and customer events
- Warehouse, depot and site teams
- A monthly Fish Friday
- Workplace fundraising days
Historic houses near South Ascot include St Leonard's Hill (4.8 miles north). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they generally set strict rules for vehicles.
Questions to ask before booking
- How allergens are handled
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- The deposit and payment dates
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

We cover London and the South East, Windsor and Maidenhead included. Find your area.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Consider a pre-order list
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Give us break and shift times
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A short walk from the party
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
