How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. A lunch-break van visit in Thorpe is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.

Questions from Thorpe
Is Thorpe close to London?
About 20 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Penton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A barbecue needs someone to cook. With a van, everyone gets a break. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
