Cannot we just order from the chip shop?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.

What a fish and chip van costs

Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:

Travel, tolls and road charges
The length of service
Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
The number of meals

Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

What we need to know

Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

Your date and serving time
The address or venue name
Any dietary needs and allergies
A picture of where the van would go

A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Hacklinge

Is Hacklinge close to London?

Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.

Do you trade at school fairs around Hacklinge?

Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.

How long will the queue be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Is the fish gluten-free?

Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

What can visitors choose from?

Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

What if we only have street parking?

Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

Can you cater for helpers?

We can. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.

Do you pay a pitch fee?

That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.

Step by step

Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December events in Hacklinge lose the light at about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:45pm.

First, the plan: what, where and what time.
You hear back on the date and the price.
The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
The pitch is left tidy when we go.
