FAQs for Holton Hill
Do you come out to small places like Holton Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Holton Hill?
The closest is Stonegate station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can everyone take part?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
How we price a fish and chip van visit
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of meals
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.
What to tell us
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure of numbers yet? That is fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you’re ready: use our quote form.

How the day works
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first residents wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In summer, Holton Hill has daylight until about 9:15pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
