Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The length of service
- Cod, haddock or both
- How far we travel
- The minimum booking
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
- Where the van would park
To get a price, use our quote form. Give us the details of your care home visit, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
FAQs for Crowhurst
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.
How far is Crowhurst from London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
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 will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will plan portions with the home.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Are visitors included?
Yes, and families love joining in.
