Common questions in Temple
How far is Temple from London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London.
Is Temple too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you do regular visits?
Yes, ask us about regular dates.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What a fish and chip van costs
We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- The length of service
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and time of the event
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
Food for residents indoors goes straight in on plates, while it’s hot.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.

- Gravy
- Pie and chips

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
