Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Wartling

How far is Wartling from London?

About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.

Is Wartling too small for a chip van?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you cater for allergies?

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.

How long will the queue be?

A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Do you bring everything you need?

Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.

Do you have documents for our site?

Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.

How long does set-up take?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

Where do you take the van?

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • How long we serve
  • How many people are eating
  • The minimum booking
  • How far we travel

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

Details that help

To check availability and price, we need:

  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • Any dietary needs and allergies
  • The address or venue name

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.

How the day works

We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Staff typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For an end-of-day event in Wartling, summer gives you light until about 9:15pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm.

  1. You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
  2. We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
  3. We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
  4. We cook to order for each group as they come out.
  5. We clear up and leave the site as we found it.

Before we arrive

  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Confirm the van is allowed on site

Ask for a quote

Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

Working with your venue

For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Looking after everyone

Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:

  • Agree the van’s spot with facilities
  • Ask staff to pre-order
  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Tell us about coeliac staff specifically

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.

Somewhere to sit outside helps.
