Fawley Bottom questions
How far is Fawley Bottom from London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Fawley Bottom?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Share pitch details
When the event closes, we pack up.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Access that avoids crowds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- The length of service
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel

What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- A picture of the space and the way in
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. To start, send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
