Questions from Greatham
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Greatham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Greatham?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.

About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
