What affects the price in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End

Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:

  • How far we travel
  • How easy the site is to reach
  • Cod, haddock or both
  • The minimum booking

There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.

What to tell us

To check availability and price, we need:

  • How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
  • Rough numbers for adults and children
  • Your date and serving time
  • Where the van would park

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Takeaway run or book a van?

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

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 solves that by cooking on site.

Planning the van’s spot

Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • Flat, firm ground for the van
  • Confirmation that the van can park there

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

From the hatch

  • Cod and chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Sausage and chips
  • Gravy
  • Curry sauce
  • Mushy peas
  • Pie and chips

Questions from Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End

What’s the nearest station to Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End?

The closest is Theale station, roughly 1.5 miles away.

Do you come out to small places like Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End?

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?

Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.

Do you do anything other than fish?

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Is there something for children?

Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.

What if we only have street parking?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

How the day works

Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. By late September, sunset in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
  3. On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
  4. Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
  5. Afterwards, we clear up and head off.

How to prepare

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Tell us when you want to eat
  • Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
