Prices and what affects them

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

  • How far we travel
  • Service time
  • The number of meals
  • Parking and the way in

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.

Getting an accurate quote

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • A photo of the space and the way in
  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • Where the event is
  • Expected numbers

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Preston Crowmarsh

How far is Preston Crowmarsh from London?

About 44 miles from central London.

Do you come out to small places like Preston Crowmarsh?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What if the weather’s bad?

We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Is grass a problem?

Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Can the van come to Preston Crowmarsh?

We do. We serve events in Preston Crowmarsh and across Oxfordshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.

What areas do you cover?

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

Can the van come to our open day?

Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.

The menu, dish by dish

Pie and chips

For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

Curry sauce

Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Step by step

Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For a staff lunch in Preston Crowmarsh, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

  1. First, tell us about your staff event.
  2. We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
  3. Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
  5. We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

Preparing for the day

  • Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
