Planning the van’s spot

- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:

- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask facilities about access
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

Langley: your questions answered
Is Langley close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Langley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. Visitors love it.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Compared with a sandwich platter, a chip van feels like a proper treat. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
