Questions from Northam
How far is Northam from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you come onto our site?
Generally, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How long does set-up take?
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.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
- 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
