In a London neighbourhood like Clay Hill, the van generally parks on a drive, in a car park or yard, or on a street with the right permission. Parking is the main thing to plan, so tell us about driveways, parking bays or a council suspension when you ask for a quote. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Clay Hill
What about parking in Clay Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you feed plenty of people?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will tell you honestly how service will work.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so it is crisp when it is handed over. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Where the van can park in Clay Hill
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
Clay Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For event organisers in Clay Hill
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
What comes out of the fryer
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
