Questions from Shalden Green
What’s the nearest station to Shalden Green?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
How far is Shalden Green from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Shalden Green?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your staff event and we will send a quote.

Working with your venue
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Before you choose a spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Shalden Green
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Parking and the way in
- Any minimum charge
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What we need to know

- The address or venue name
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
Send a message round when the van opens.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. After-work summer events in Shalden Green have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
