Lower Slackstead: your questions answered
How far is Lower Slackstead from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Lower Slackstead?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come to Lower Slackstead?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Lower Slackstead is within our area. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For an evening event in Lower Slackstead, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
