Common questions in Hammerwood
Do you come out to small places like Hammerwood?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Hammerwood close to London?
About 26 miles from central London.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That is up to your site, but car parks and yards generally work well.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we will explain.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

What else we do in Hammerwood
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Find out what documents the site needs
- Collect allergies in advance
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
Some teams make it a regular treat.

What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
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.
How it works
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. A lunch-break van visit in Hammerwood is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
