The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. December events in Hampton Poyle lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 9:00pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
