Common questions in Knaphill
Is Knaphill close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Knaphill?
Brookwood station, about 1.4 miles south-west of the centre.
What about crew who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. See all areas.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in Knaphill?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Long summer days in Knaphill, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
