- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.

Common questions in Chute Forest
Is Chute Forest close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Chute Forest?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
How big a pitch do you need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- How long we serve
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to tell us:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll check availability right away.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
