Fresh fish and chips in Weavers Down
How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In Weavers Down, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:55pm and 7:05pm; for winter visits, choose lunchtime.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Questions from Weavers Down
How far is Weavers Down from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Weavers Down?

What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there something for children?

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A route in without tight gates
- 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 booking.
