Common questions in Little London
Do you come out to small places like Little London?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Little London.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

It feels festive without being formal, and people talk about it.
The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- PTA Christmas events
- Boxing Day and New Year gatherings
- End-of-year club parties

If a church like St Peter's Church is running a Christmas fair, a chip van is a welcome sight on a cold evening.

- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- What happens if plans change
- How many hours the van serves
- The van’s size and access needs
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Festive lights by the van look great.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, it is dark in Little London by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
