Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Collect allergies in advance
- Consider a pre-order list
We can serve each shift in turn.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Questions from Stroud Common
How far is Stroud Common from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Cucknell's Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
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 will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for your team cost in Stroud Common?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What the van needs
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
