FAQs for Ballinger Common
How far is Ballinger Common from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Ballinger Common?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.

Step by step
There’s very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your party. The frying and serving are down to us. For a late-May party in Ballinger Common, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
