Almodington questions
Is Almodington close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
Can you serve near the sea around Almodington?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Chips
- Curry sauce
- Pie and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Gravy
How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. In Almodington, a June party has light until about 9:20pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
