FAQs for Hartley Mauditt

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.

A chip van compared with other options

Take a look at our pricing or what a fish and chip van costs.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The number of meals
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The minimum booking
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your staff event.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Roughly how many people, including children
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. After-work summer events in Hartley Mauditt have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
