FAQs for Chillerton
Is Chillerton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book for December?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van come to Chillerton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Chillerton is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
About the food
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Confirm allergies by email
- Flag any coeliac guests
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How we price a fish and chip van for your Christmas party
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- The day of the week
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
