FAQs for Gay Street
How far is Gay Street from London?
About 40 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Gay Street?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. It gets dark in Gay Street by about 3:55pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light, and keep the walk short.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We park up, heat the fryers and serve hot food on a cold day.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Hog roasts are a Christmas favourite, but it is pork only. A chip van gives a choice. 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.
