Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Hatch Warren
How far is Hatch Warren from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Hatch Warren?
Basingstoke station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- Away from emergency access
- A lit spot for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices

- Haddock and chips
