Fresh fish and chips in West Preston

Common questions in West Preston

Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.

Can you serve near the sea around West Preston?

Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

What if we only have street parking?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

How long will the queue be?

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

Can you come onto our site?

Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is typically ideal.

What do we need to supply?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will plan it with you.

Do you serve visitors at events?

Yes, it’s a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Collect allergies in advance
  • Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
  • Ask facilities about access

Put bins near the hatch.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.

What comes out of the fryer

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.

Sausage and chips

A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

  • The minimum booking
  • Travel, tolls and road charges
  • Parking and the way in
  • Numbers

Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

What to tell us

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Try to include:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Expected numbers
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Where you’d like the van to go

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
