15 questions to ask before booking

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

A meal out takes everyone off site. The van brings lunch to the team. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

Why us?

  • Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear
  • Something for staff to gather round

Takeaway run or book a van?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.

Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

New Barnet questions

Could you trade in Victoria Recreation Ground?

Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

What’s the nearest station to New Barnet?

New Barnet has its own station: New Barnet station.

Which areas do you serve?

We cover London and the South East, including Greater London. See all areas.

Is the fish gluten-free?

No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.

Can the van come to our open day?

Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.

How long are you on site?

We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

Is grass a problem?

Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Step by step

You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. After-work summer events in New Barnet have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. Send us your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Before we arrive

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Share the timings for the day
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
