DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Middle Aston: your questions answered
Is Middle Aston close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can the van come to Middle Aston?
We do. Middle Aston is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you be flexible on the day?
Of course. We serve when people are ready.
How we price fish and chips for the wake
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- Your choice of menu
- Whether a minimum applies
- Service time
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the event is
