FAQs for Hannington
Which station is closest to Hannington?
The closest is Overton station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Hannington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Before you choose a spot
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Access checked by locations
- A queue area clear of trucks
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Pie and chips
- Crew lunches
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
A chip van compared with other options
Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. A van cooks at the unit base. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your shoot is.
