A chip van near West Chiltington

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Corporate fish and chip catering in West Chiltington, fried fresh

Few staff treats are as popular as a fish and chip van lunch. It needs no kitchen and no room booking, and people still talk about it the following week. Popular choices include haddock and chips, pie and chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for shift teams at depots and warehouses and open days and customer events.

At country workplaces around West Chiltington, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your staff event, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:

  • Share the shift pattern
  • Confirm allergies by email
  • Flag any coeliac staff
  • Collect allergies in advance

Send a message round when the van opens.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.

A chip van compared with other options

With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.

Why book with us

  • A menu almost everyone likes
  • No surprises in your quote
  • A van that becomes part of the event
  • Fried fresh, not kept warm

Read our pricing or our guide to van hire costs.

Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • The number of meals
  • Any minimum charge
  • How far we travel
  • The day of the week

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Details that help

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Anything awkward about the way in
  • The address or venue name
  • Roughly how many people, including children

Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

What the van needs

A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Space for people to queue at the hatch

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

From the hatch

  • Haddock and chips
  • Pie and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Cod and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Mushy peas

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Lunchtime bookings in West Chiltington are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Preparing for the day

  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Share the timings for the day

Getting a price

Send us the date, the address or RH20 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
