FAQs for Caulcott
Is Caulcott too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Caulcott from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What does it cost to hire the van?
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.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Agree the terms in writing
- Give us an idea of numbers
Put bins near the queue.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 solves that by cooking on site.
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.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
