Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Collect allergies in advance
A quick message to staff when the van opens helps, and stagger departments if you can.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- The date and time of year
- Parking and the way in
The cost per head normally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Not sure of numbers yet? No problem: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you’re ready: send us your details through our quote form.

What else we do in Sutton Common
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
As a London location, Sutton Common is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Sutton Common questions
What’s the nearest station to Sutton Common?
St Helier station, in Sutton Common itself.
What about parking in Sutton Common?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
