Sulhamstead Abbots: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Sulhamstead Abbots?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Sulhamstead Abbots from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- The day of the week
- The minimum booking
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
