Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in St Nicholas at Wade
Is St Nicholas at Wade close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like St Nicholas at Wade?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
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 cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
