Questions from West Molesey
Can the van park in Lower Hampton Road?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far is West Molesey from London?
About 14 miles from central London.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As soon as you have a date, especially for a Friday.

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- Have a back-up for special diets
For a work party, food early in the evening typically works best.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
