Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Emmer Green
What’s the nearest station to Emmer Green?
The closest is Reading station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Is Emmer Green close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to our open day?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How does payment work for businesses?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Compared with a sandwich platter, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
