Westcott questions
Which station is closest to Westcott?
Dorking West station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the van park in Milton Heath and The Nower?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Send round an allergy question
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Ask facilities about access
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Lunchtime bookings in Westcott are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Before we arrive
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we are available that day.
Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Westcott? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
