Kingston Bagpuize: your questions answered
How far is Kingston Bagpuize from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Fit the visit around routines
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
We serve at the time the home chooses, around meals and medication.
A regular date gives everyone something to look forward to.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger residents and fish-dodgers.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
