Questions from Fyfield

Do you come out to small places like Fyfield?

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

How far is Fyfield from London?

Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.

How much space do you need?

Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Does the batter contain gluten?

No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.

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.

Do you take everything away?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

How long are you on site?

It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

How do you handle allergies?

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

How we price a fish and chip van

These are the factors that matter most:

  • How far we travel
  • Service time
  • The day of the week
  • Access and parking

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Getting an accurate quote

Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:

  • The spot you have in mind for the van
  • Roughly how many people, including children
  • The date and time of the event
  • Dietary needs, with numbers

The process

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Fyfield, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.

Getting ready for the day

  • Let us know who to talk to on the day
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

How to get a price

Looking after everyone

We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

  • Plan bins near the queue
  • Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet

  • Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form

The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Why us?

  • Something for guests to gather round
  • Served hot, straight from the hatch
  • All the chip-shop extras
  • Nothing for you to cook or clear

Take a look at how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
