- Let us know about coeliac disease
When service is finished, we pack up.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.

Work events near Whitfield might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. The van works at any of them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
What happens on the day
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. For a staff lunch in Whitfield, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Whitfield
Which station is closest to Whitfield?
Kearsney station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How does payment work for businesses?

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
