Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van for your team
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The menu and how many choices
- How far we travel
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the van would park
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your staff
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
As a London location, Waltham Forest is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
