Swalcliffe questions
Do you come out to small places like Swalcliffe?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Swalcliffe close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What can staff choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you contact us. In general, we need:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
