About 56 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before you book.

We do. Tell us the date and pitch.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
