Fresh fish and chips in Enborne

Fish and chip van for events in Enborne, cooked to order

Everything is cooked as people come up, so it is hot and crisp. We serve chips, cod and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater music and food festivals and crew and volunteer catering.

Rural events near Enborne can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.

The process

We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Evening events in Enborne have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.

  1. Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
  2. You hear back on the date and the price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
  4. On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
  5. The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Before we arrive

  • Plan where the queue will stand
  • Let us know the serving time
  • Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Getting a price

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Before you choose a spot

If a spot isn’t suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:

  • A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
  • Details of any power or water on site
  • Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:

  • The length of service
  • The minimum booking
  • Your choice of menu
  • How easy the site is to reach

Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Getting an accurate quote

These details help us quote quickly:

  • Where the event is
  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Where you’d like the van to go
  • Allergies and diets you know about

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.

Enborne questions

Is Enborne close to London?

Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Do you trade at school fairs around Enborne?

Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

What areas do you cover?

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Enborne.

Can you park on the road outside?

It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Who clears up?

The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

What are the terms for events?

We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.

Can the van come to our fair?

Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.

Is there something for children?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
