Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Funtington
Do you trade at school fairs around Funtington?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Funtington from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Plan bins near food stalls
When the event closes, we pack up.
