We plan service around your breaks and shifts, so nobody misses out. We are often asked to cater warehouse, depot and site teams and charity and fundraising days at work, with mushy peas, cod and chips and haddock and chips.

Near Stonegate, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a chip van a real treat. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Taking the team out for a meal means booking, travel and time away from site. The van brings lunch to the team. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.

A closer look at the menu

Gravy

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.

Pie and chips

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:

  • How long we serve
  • Numbers
  • Parking and the way in
  • Any minimum charge

Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

What to tell us

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:

  • Where the event is
  • Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
  • Where the van would park
  • The date and when you’d like to eat

Send us the date, the address or TN5 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just send us your details through our quote form.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Choosing a fish and chip van

The process

We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. For a staff lunch in Stonegate, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

  1. Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
  2. A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
  3. Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
  4. We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
  5. Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Clear the route for the van
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van

How to get a price

We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
