Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Lane End
Do you come out to small places like Lane End?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Lane End from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Organising a club, school or community event in Lane End? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Sunset in Lane End in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
