Common questions in Coneyhurst
How far is Coneyhurst from London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Coneyhurst?
Billingshurst station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Step by step
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. We handle the cooking and serving. Long summer days in Coneyhurst, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- A queue area clear of trucks
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Crew lunches

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Service time
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
To get a price, use our quote form. Tell us about your shoot in Coneyhurst, and we will check the date and send a price.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
