FAQs for Cranham
Is parking a problem for the van in Cranham?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in St. Andrew's Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Where will the van go on our site?
Your facilities team decides, but car parks and yards usually work well.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes. Visitors love it.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Perfect for your staff event in Cranham
It suits shift teams, because service can be planned in waves.
We can help if you are planning any of the following:
- Leaving dos
- Staff appreciation days
- Open days
- Fish Friday treats
Nearby historic houses include Hare Hall (3 miles north-west) and Rainham Hall (4.5 miles south-west). Historic venues suit client days, but check their vehicle rules before planning a van.
What to look for in a quote

- Any travel, parking or access charges
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a staff lunch in Cranham, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

What a fish and chip van costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- The day of the week
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
Not sure of numbers yet? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
