About the food
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Anna Valley
How far is Anna Valley from London?
About 65 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Anna Valley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Anna Valley?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on my drive?
Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
Organising a club, school or community event in Anna Valley? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
