Midgham: your questions answered

Which station is closest to Midgham?

The closest is Midgham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.

How far is Midgham from London?

About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

What’s on the menu?

Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Do you need power or water?

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

Do you come to Midgham?

We do. Midgham is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

How long does set-up take?

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Our booking checklist

A fish and chip van or other catering?

Office caterers bring cold buffets. A van serves hot food to order. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Why book with us

  • We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
  • No surprises in your quote
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Fish and chips fried fresh on site

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.

Mushy peas

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.

How it works

From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event in Midgham. For a staff lunch in Midgham, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. We agree exactly where the van parks.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

How to prepare

  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Choose a level, firm spot for the van
  • Clear the route for the van

No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:

  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Lighting nearby for evening events

Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

From the hatch

  • Mushy peas
  • Sausage and chips
  • Staff lunches
  • Pie and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Cod and chips

Working with your venue

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Looking after everyone

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

  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Send round an allergy question
  • Put allergy details in writing

For shift teams, we serve in waves.

A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.

What affects the price in Midgham

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

  • The length of service
  • How many people are eating
  • How far we travel
  • The date and time of year

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
