DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
FAQs for Watermead
How far is Watermead from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you come onto our site?
Often, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask facilities about access
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Ask staff to pre-order
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
