DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

About 44 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to East Worldham?

Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.

Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.

Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
