How we price a fish and chip van for your team
These are the factors that matter most:
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- The day of the week
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Stoke
It works for customer events and open days as well: visitors queue, chat and stay longer. On the menu are cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips, and typical bookings are for lunch for site crews and fish Friday treats.
Near Stoke, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.

Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Stoke
Do you come out to small places like Stoke?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Stoke from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can the van come to Stoke?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Stoke. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Stoke
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are typically cold. A van serves hot food to order. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What you get with us
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A van that becomes part of the event
- We cover Stoke and the whole of Hampshire
- Everything cooked to order at your event
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Give us break and shift times
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
