Upper Kingston: your questions answered
Is Upper Kingston too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Upper Kingston.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party and we’ll send a quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
