Questions from Mapledurham
What’s the nearest station to Mapledurham?
Tilehurst station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
Can the van park in Round Copse?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Mapledurham.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Access and parking
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
How it works
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your staff event. For a staff lunch in Mapledurham, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We agree where the van parks and when it arrives with you or facilities.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Ensure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
