FAQs for Ley Hill
Is Ley Hill close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Ley Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.

- How far we travel
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy the site is to reach
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
