Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Winterbourne
Which station is closest to Winterbourne?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
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 for a clear quote.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Put allergy details in writing
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
Put bins near the hatch.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
A closer look at the menu
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
- How many people are eating
- Service time
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Expected numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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.
