What affects the price in Speenhamland

Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:

  • Your choice of menu
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Whether a minimum applies
  • The number of meals

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Details that help

The more we know about your staff event, the better we can plan. Please include:

  • Dietary needs, with numbers
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • The venue or postcode

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

For event organisers in Speenhamland

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

What the van needs

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:

  • Somewhere close to where people will eat
  • A lit spot if service runs after dark
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Popular choices

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

Step by step

The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Speenhamland, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Getting ready for the day

  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Give us your final numbers and allergies
  • Clear the route for the van

FAQs for Speenhamland

How far is Speenhamland from London?

About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Can the van park in Victoria Park?

Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Can the van park on the street?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Who clears up?

We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.

What happens if it rains?

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

How fast is service?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

How long are you on site?

We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

Can you park in our car park or yard?

That is up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.

The menu, dish by dish

Curry sauce

Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.

Mushy peas

Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Diets, allergies and planning

Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

  • Share the shift pattern
  • Ask facilities what paperwork they need
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities

We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.

A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
