Questions from Oxshott
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park in Claygate Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is it a full meal?
It is a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Oxshott.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
After service, we pack up, quietly and quickly.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The minimum booking
- How far we travel
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
