About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Naphill?

Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.

What about visitors who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.

Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.

Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:

If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For an evening event in Naphill, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
