Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Allow a little extra
- Build in time for delays
- Name a contact for the day who isn’t close family
- Have chairs for those who need them
Ensure older relatives can sit to eat.
Napkins and bins near the van keep things tidy.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Temple Mills
What about parking in Temple Mills?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Which station is closest to Temple Mills?
Temple Mills has its own station: Stratford International station.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes. We can work with whoever is helping you.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
