Organising for someone else?

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Takeaway run or book a van?

Our booking checklist

What affects the price in Curridge

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

  • Any minimum charge
  • The day of the week
  • Access and parking
  • Cod, haddock or both

When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.

Details that help

When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:

  • Allergies and diets you know about
  • The address or venue name
  • A photo of the parking spot
  • Where you’d like the van to go

Send us the date, the address or RG18 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.

How the day works

Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. A summer party in Curridge stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check the route in and send a price.
  3. We arrive in good time to set up.
  4. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

How to prepare

  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
