How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. For a summer visit in Coneyhurst, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

- We check where the van can park and send a quote.

Questions from Coneyhurst
How far is Coneyhurst from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Coneyhurst?
The closest is Billingshurst station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it’s level and safe.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Organising a club, school or community event in Coneyhurst? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Plan portion sizes with us

Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
