Wartling questions
Do you come out to small places like Wartling?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Wartling close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, it’s a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Light in Wartling lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
