DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
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.
For event organisers in Hounslow
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:

- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Access wide and high enough for the van
As a London location, Hounslow is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

Your questions about fish and chips for the wake in Hounslow
What about parking in Hounslow?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Sunbury Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What if we don’t know numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we’ll plan with a little extra.
