How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, and chips are fried in batches through service. In December, daylight in Hanworth ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.

- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.

Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
