What else we do in Cote
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Common questions in Cote
Can you serve near the sea around Cote?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How far is Cote from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we will agree the choice when we quote.
Can the van come to Cote?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Cote is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
