Looking after everyone

Used oil leaves with the van.
A dining area at base helps.

What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A queue area clear of trucks
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- The location’s agreement
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
What we serve
- Crew lunches
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What affects the price in Headbourne Worthy
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
- Parking and the way in
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and time of the event
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
Each quote is put together for your shoot. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
