Common questions in Deerton Street
Is Deerton Street close to London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Deerton Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Deerton Street.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where should the van go?
Your manager can choose the spot.
What affects the price in Deerton Street
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The day of the week
- The length of service
- The number of meals
- How easy the site is to reach
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In Deerton Street, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:50pm and 7:00pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers and a serving time that suits the home.
- We check where the van can park and send a quote.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- We serve hot from the hatch at the time the home chooses.
- We clear up and leave the car park as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Clear the route for the van
