Corporate fish and chip catering in King's Somborne, fried fresh

Common questions in King's Somborne
Is King's Somborne close to London?
About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is King's Somborne too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
