Questions from Weald
How far is Weald from London?
About 64 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Weald?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Weald?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Choose a lit spot for the van
Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How far we travel
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Service time
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- The spot you have in mind for the van

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
