What comes out of the fryer

For event organisers in Bramdean
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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 residents instead.
Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Bramdean
Do you come out to small places like Bramdean?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Bramdean from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can the van come to Bramdean?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Bramdean is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Lighting for later visits
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A level parking spot near the entrance
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
