Questions from Tinkers Cross
Do you come out to small places like Tinkers Cross?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can you come onto our site?
Normally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A short walk from the party
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
