Common questions in Great Rollright
How far is Great Rollright from London?
About 70 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
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. Send us the address.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
A chip van compared with other options
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. A van fries on the spot. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
