Common questions in Boughton Aluph
Is Boughton Aluph close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Boughton Aluph?
Wye station, about 1 mile south-east of the centre.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It can be. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we’ll confirm what we can offer.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Count children separately
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
Once everyone is fed, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
