Questions from White Waltham
Can you come to a school fair in White Waltham?

Is White Waltham close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Share pitch details
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
