Takeaway run or book a van?

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 normally simpler.

Stanwell questions
How far is Stanwell from London?
About 17 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Stanwell?
The closest is Ashford Surrey station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
