East Anton: your questions answered
Is East Anton close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to East Anton?
Andover station, about 1.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.
Do you have documents for our site?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
What affects the price in East Anton
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How far we travel
- Your choice of menu

Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, use our quote form.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. A lunch-break van visit in East Anton is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it is dark by about 4:00pm in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
Ask for a quote
Each quote is put together for your staff event. Start with your date, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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 you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
