DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Working with your venue

If you are 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.

How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. December visits in Cogges are best at lunchtime, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:30pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day

Cogges: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Cogges?
Finstock station, about 4.8 miles north of the centre.
How far is Cogges from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Entertainers and activities are great; a van visit is both. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
