Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Give us break and shift times
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Have a back-up for special diets
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For an end-of-day event in Waterbeach, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May, sunset is around 8:50pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

What else we do in Waterbeach
Waterbeach: your questions answered
Is Waterbeach too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Waterbeach from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. Visitors love it.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For event organisers in Waterbeach
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
