About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Staff will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Lunchtime bookings in Weston are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Is Weston close to London?

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

Where will the van go on our site?

Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff to pre-order
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Send a message round when the van opens.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
