Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Little Ann
Is Little Ann close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Little Ann?
Andover station, about 2 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
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.

What a fish and chip van costs
These are the factors that matter most:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
- Parking and the way in
- Service time
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your staff event.

- Allergies and diets you know about
- Your date and serving time

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
