Planning help
What affects the price in Farnborough
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the space and the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies and diets you know about
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

FAQs for Farnborough
How far is Farnborough from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Farnborough?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send round an allergy question
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Share the shift pattern
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Organising for someone else?
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
