The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. A lunch-break van visit in South Godstone is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A spot near your staff
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
From the hatch
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Staff lunches
- Pie and chips

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
