Common questions in South Street
Which station is closest to South Street?
Oxted station, about 3.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around South Street?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including South Street.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
How the day works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Summer events in South Street have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.

Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- What’s available on the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
As a London location, South Street is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
