Hillstreet: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hillstreet?
Totton station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Hillstreet?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van come to Hillstreet?
Yes, we do. Hillstreet is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.

How we price a fish and chip van for the crew
Your quote will be clear. What affects it most:
- How far we travel
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Long summer days in Hillstreet, with light until about 9:25pm, 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.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Plan where the queue will stand
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A wrap party at a venue costs more. A van makes a relaxed wrap. 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. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- A quote that spells everything out
- A menu almost everyone likes
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
