Your questions about a fish and chip van in Flexford
Is Flexford close to London?
About 31 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you cover Flexford?
We do. Flexford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In Flexford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

- We check availability and access and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
