Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Does a chip van work for big events?

Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is the food cooked at the event?

Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Enham Alamein until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Where the van can park in Enham Alamein
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A spot near your guests
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A clear area by the serving hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and typically costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Fewer choices mean faster service
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Count children separately
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we get there in good time. If plans change, tell us and we’ll adjust.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
