Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
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.

Langley Green questions
Can you come to a school fair in Langley Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Could you trade in Grattons Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
