What about parking in Avery Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Is it a full meal?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal.
Can you go on a lawn or field?

Do you do anything other than fish?

Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Guests typically gather round the hatch as soon as we open. Light matters for evening service: around Avery Hill, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.
- 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.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
