What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. A summer party in Blacknest stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you are 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, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A chip van compared with other options
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

Questions from Blacknest
What’s the nearest station to Blacknest?
The closest is Sunningdale station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How far is Blacknest from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
