DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Organising a club, school or community event in Hinton Ampner? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.
Hinton Ampner questions
Is Hinton Ampner too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Hinton Ampner close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Do you cover Hinton Ampner?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Hinton Ampner is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Before you choose a spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
