Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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.

George Green questions
Which station is closest to George Green?
Langley station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Is George Green close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What if lunch moves?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A hardstanding spot at the unit base
- Access checked by locations
- Room for the crew to queue
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
