Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

  • Flag any coeliac staff
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Send allergies to us in writing

We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.

Some teams make it a regular treat.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

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.

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Step by step

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Lunchtime staff treats in Crumbles are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 3:55pm in December.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Preparing for the day

  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Let us know the serving time

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.

Cod and chips

Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.

How we price a fish and chip van for your team

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How long we serve
  • Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • Numbers

Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.

What to tell us

Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:

  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • The date and time of the event
  • Any dietary needs and allergies

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.

Planning the van’s spot

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • Access wide and high enough for the van
  • Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Crumbles

How far is Crumbles from London?

About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

What about events near the coast?

Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.

Do you have allergen information?

Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

What about staff who don’t eat fish?

Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Can you invoice the company?

Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.

Can the van park on the street?

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Do you come to Crumbles?

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Crumbles is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
