Long Wittenham questions
Can you come to a school fair in Long Wittenham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you come out to small places like Long Wittenham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Long Wittenham.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
What happens on the day
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Evening events in Long Wittenham have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
