Snow Hill: your questions answered
How far is Snow Hill from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Snow Hill?
The closest is East Grinstead station, roughly 3 miles away.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where will the van park?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe; we will check access.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Away from bedroom windows
- A clear way in for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. In Snow Hill, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Organise staff to carry food in
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Count families who are joining in
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Snow Hill?
A themed afternoon with a van feels like a day out, without leaving the home. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What you get with us
- A van that becomes part of the event
