FAQs for Farnborough
Could you trade in South Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Farnborough?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll work around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Whenever suits your party. Remember it’s dark by about 4pm in December.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Events we cater in Farnborough
Few things beat hot fish and chips in December, served fast.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:
- Club and society Christmas socials
- Christmas lunches for shift teams
- End-of-year customer events
- Christmas fairs at schools
A winter fair at a school like Farnborough Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

About the food
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What affects the price in Farnborough
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The minimum booking
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The address or venue name
- A photo of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Roughly how many people, including children
Each quote is put together for your Christmas party. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Farnborough?
A hog roast is popular at Christmas, but it’s pork only. A van offers fish, sausages and pies. 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. Your quote spells it all out.

Where the van can park in Farnborough
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Farnborough is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Check the van can park on site
- Confirm allergies by email
