The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. In Church Hanborough, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:30pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Name one person we can call on the day

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Church Hanborough
How far is Church Hanborough from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Church Hanborough?
Hanborough station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Where the van can park in Church Hanborough
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Check with facilities where the van can park
We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
For event organisers in Church Hanborough
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
