Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Salvington
Is Salvington close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at St Symphorian's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Salvington, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- First, tell us about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
