The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Late September evenings in Langley Green lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it is nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Langley Green
Which station is closest to Langley Green?
Crawley station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
Is Langley Green close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
