Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Holmwood Corner?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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 usually the easier option.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Service time
- Whether a minimum applies
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
What we need to know
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- Your date and serving time
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Agree the waste plan with locations
- Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
We set up at the unit base ahead of lunch, out of the way.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
