Warren Street questions
Can the van park in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.

About 41 miles from central London.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.

London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Warren Street.
Fish and chip van hire in Warren Street, fried fresh
Fish and chips is the meal almost everyone in Britain knows and likes. It’s why a chip van suits so many occasions. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and summer get-togethers and community events and fairs, with haddock and chips, gravy and pie and chips.
Somewhere as small as Warren Street, a field, yard or drive is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what we can do.
Should I sort the food myself?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests don’t eat pork. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

- A short walk from the party
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put allergy details in writing
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Somewhere to sit or lean makes fish and chips easier to eat.
