15 questions to ask before you book

How it works

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. Lunchtime bookings in West Stoke are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

  1. You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
  2. You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
  3. We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
  4. We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
  5. Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.

How to prepare

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Let us know the serving time
  • Let us know who to talk to on the day

Allergies and dietary needs

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:

  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Let us know about coeliac disease
  • Put allergy details in writing
  • Collect allergies in advance

Send a message round when the van opens.

A sign in reception or a team message builds the excitement.

Should I sort the food myself?

Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Food your guests will love

Sausage and chips

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

Gravy

Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

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

Do you do customer events and open days?

We do. Visitors love it.

What does the van need?

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

Can you serve each shift?

Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Do we need to provide equipment?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
