Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Waddon
What about parking in Waddon?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Could you trade in Duppas Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you come onto our site?
Normally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Waddon, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
