The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Light in Ingrams Green lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some locations have nowhere to buy food. The van solves that. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
Why us?
