Questions from Addlestone
How far is Addlestone from London?
About 19 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at St Paul's: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
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.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we will confirm what we can offer.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
