FAQs for Staines-upon-Thames
Can the van park in Penton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is Staines-upon-Thames close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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.
About the food
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
