Walton-on-Thames questions
Which station is closest to Walton-on-Thames?
The closest is Walton-On-Thames station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Could you trade in Sunbury Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Give us a contact for changes, and we will adjust where possible.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you come to Walton-on-Thames?
Yes, we do. Walton-on-Thames is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What can crew choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How easy the site is to reach
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Still finalising the details? No problem: tell us the basics about your shoot, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
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.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Confirm numbers the day before
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Share the base location and route
- Make sure we can reach locations on the day
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch.
Pre-orders from the crew help on tight breaks.
