About 46 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Stubbles?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?

Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you have allergen information?

Should I sort the food myself?

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we can’t cater for

Fish and chips is at its best fresh from the fryer, so we cook as people come up to the hatch.

How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. In Stubbles, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
