Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Haslemere?

When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.

How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
