Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask facilities about access
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Collect allergies in advance
- Tell us exactly when each group can eat
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. In Tapnage, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Organising for someone else?
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
