Questions from Akeley
Is Akeley close to London?
About 52 miles from central London.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary): can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van come to Akeley?
We do. Akeley is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Service time

- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- A picture of the parking spot helps
With children, food about an hour in works well.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
