- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge

Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask facilities about access
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Confirm allergies by email
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.

- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.

Preparing for the day

Common questions in Clapton
What’s the nearest station to Clapton?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Clapton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we’ll send a quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Berkshire included. See all areas.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
For event organisers in Clapton
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Clapton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
