Common questions in Hale Street
How far is Hale Street from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
What’s the nearest station to Hale Street?
Yalding station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What can staff choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why book with us
- Classic food your staff already know
- Something for staff to gather round
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- Quick service from the hatch
