Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Common questions in Hollington
Which station is closest to Hollington?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 4.9 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Thomas: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. You can add your own desserts if you like.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hollington.

How it works
You don’t need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. In Hollington, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.
