Common questions in Edgcott
Is Edgcott close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
You do not need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- The venue or postcode
- Where the van would park
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests usually gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In Edgcott, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in
