Friar's Hill questions
How far is Friar's Hill from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Friar's Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
