Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
We get there ahead of the lunch break, so we’re ready when the first group comes out.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

FAQs for Lower Basildon
How far is Lower Basildon from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Lower Basildon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Lower Basildon?
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
