FAQs for Edgcott
Is Edgcott close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Occasions we serve in Edgcott
You don’t need a venue: a drive or firm lawn is enough.

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. For a late-May party in Edgcott, sunset is around 9:00pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
What you get with us
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
Take a look at our prices page or our guide to van hire costs.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A photo of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
