In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Wickhambreaux questions
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Wickhambreaux from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Wickhambreaux?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Where the van can park in Wickhambreaux
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. In general, we need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
On the menu in Wickhambreaux
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Show us where the van would go
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Put the menu up by the van.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
