Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
- Whether a minimum applies
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
Details that help
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The venue or postcode
- Expected numbers
- Allergies and diets you know about
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
About our fish and chip van hire in Little London
The van needs no kitchen, no hall and no crockery. It needs a level, firm spot to park and a clear way in, which suits drives, yards, car parks and firm lawns. Typical bookings include weddings and evening receptions and visits to care homes and day centres, serving pie and chips, curry sauce and gravy.
Somewhere like Little London, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
- Put allergy details in writing
- Tell us how many children are coming
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier for everyone.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in Little London
Which station is closest to Little London?
Bramley (Hants) station, about 2.1 miles east of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Little London?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
