The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.

For event organisers in Hempton
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Where the van can park in Hempton
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Details of any power or water on site
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Hempton questions
Which station is closest to Hempton?
Kings Sutton station, about 4 miles north-east of the centre.
How far is Hempton from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. In Hempton, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:30pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
