Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Hassell Street
Do you come out to small places like Hassell Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

The process

December visits in Hassell Street are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:15pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
