What happens on the day
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In West Hanney, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in West Hanney
Can you come to a school fair in West Hanney?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is West Hanney from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you come to West Hanney?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and West Hanney is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Settle the pitch terms early
