FAQs for Hammer
Is Hammer close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you invoice the company?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Where will the van go on our site?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. Facilities will decide the spot.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What the van needs
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you, and help find another. What matters most:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Step by step
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. Lunchtime bookings in Hammer are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
