FAQs for Hambledon
How far is Hambledon from London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Hambledon too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options.
Do you cover Hambledon?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hambledon is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 solves that by cooking on site.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. After-work summer events in Hambledon have daylight until about 9:20pm in late June and 7:05pm in late September; for winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need lighting.
