North Moreton: your questions answered
Is North Moreton close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Occasions we serve in North Moreton

Organising for someone else?
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in North Moreton? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in North Moreton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
