Questions from Farnham Royal
Can the van park in Cocksherd Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Farnham Royal from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
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’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Farnham Royal.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you invoice the company?
We will talk you through booking and payment.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
What affects the price in Farnham Royal
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
- Numbers
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
