Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Mountfield: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Mountfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Mountfield close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before booking.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
