Skinners Green questions

What’s the nearest station to Skinners Green?

The closest is Newbury station, roughly 1.6 miles away.

How far is Skinners Green from London?

Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

What happens if it rains?

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

Is grass a problem?

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

Do we need to provide equipment?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

Does the batter contain gluten?

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

Do you cover Skinners Green?

We do. Skinners Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

When should we book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

Occasions we serve in Skinners Green

It gets people out of their usual groups and talking.

Questions to ask before you book

  • The deposit and payment dates
  • VAT, if it applies
  • What the van needs: space, access, power
  • What the price includes, item by item

15 questions to ask before you book

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. The van cooks on site. A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

  • Everything cooked to order at your event
  • Hot food handed straight over

The process

You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your staff event. The frying and serving are down to us. Lunchtime staff treats in Skinners Green are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December.

  1. We start with a few details 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. We cook to order on the day for your staff.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Preparing for the day

  • Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
  • Get permission for the van from the venue
  • Plan where the queue will stand

Getting a price

We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
