Whether it’s a Friday treat or an end-of-quarter thank you, a chip van makes it feel like an occasion. We are frequently asked to cater friday lunch treats and project milestones, with haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
At country workplaces around Tidmarsh, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Service time
- How far we travel
- How easy the site is to reach
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is often the best value.

Common questions in Tidmarsh
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Tidmarsh?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Tidmarsh?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.

How it works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a staff lunch in Tidmarsh, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

What the van needs

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A spot near your staff
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
