What to tell us
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the space and the way in
Send us the date, the address or BN12 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December events in Hangleton lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Getting a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, use our quote form.

Hangleton questions
How far is Hangleton from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Clapham Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What do you need on the pitch?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll confirm.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Where the van can park in Hangleton
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- What’s available on the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
