Fresh fish and chips in Houghton Green
Houghton Green questions
How far is Houghton Green from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Houghton Green 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 happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where will the van go on our site?
Normally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Next to a sandwich lunch, a chip van feels like a proper treat. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Why book with us
- Something for staff to gather round
- All the chip-shop extras
- Quick service from the hatch
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. After-work summer events in Houghton Green have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?

Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
