Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Little Wittenham
Is Little Wittenham close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Little Wittenham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you do residents’ portions?
We will plan portions with the home.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
