Netherton: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Netherton close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Mention the van to neighbours
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Keep the queue away from the road.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
What affects the price in Netherton
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- The date and time of year
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your party is.
Details that help
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
- Your date and serving time
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
Why choose party fish and chip van in Netherton?
It works at home: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.
The van suits big events and small ones. Typical bookings include:
- Children’s parties
- Retirement celebrations
- Big birthdays
- Family celebrations after a christening
A christening at Church of St Nicholas followed by fish and chips on the drive is a simple, popular plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- The service time, and the cost of running over
- Whether travel is included
- The cancellation terms
- VAT, if it applies
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
Why book with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A menu almost everyone likes
- A clear quote before you book
- Quick service from the hatch
