Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Details that help
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us break and shift times
- Check with facilities where the van can park
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Find out what documents the site needs
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How the day works
There is very little for you to do 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. In Sprig's Alley, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with your facilities team.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
A meal out takes everyone off site. A van comes to you. 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.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

FAQs for Sprig's Alley
Is Sprig's Alley close to London?
Roughly 36 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before booking.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
