FAQs for Mountfield
Do you come out to small places like Mountfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park on my drive?
Generally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
What a fish and chip van costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The length of service
- How easy the site is to reach
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
