Questions from Eastfields
We are gathering after a service at St. Mark's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Eastfields?
Eastfields has its own station: Mitcham Eastfields station.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
