Questions from Bishopsgate
Could you trade in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Royal Chapel of All Saints?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Do you cover Bishopsgate?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Bishopsgate and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, use our quote form.
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 service around it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering in for a crowd means long waits. A van fries on the spot. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips

Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.

Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
Got a budget? Let us know, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
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 usually the easier option.
