Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Box Hill
Do you come out to small places like Box Hill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Box Hill close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to Box Hill?
We do. Box Hill is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.

Organising for someone else?

If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.

How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For an end-of-day event in Box Hill, summer gives you light until about 9:20pm; in late May it’s about 8:50pm, and in winter the yard or car park will need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan where the queue will stand
