Common questions in Charlton
Which station is closest to Charlton?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
How far is Charlton from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you cover Charlton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Charlton is within our area and the rest of Hampshire. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

How we price a fish and chip van for your party
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
- The day of the week
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your party.
What we need to know
To speed things up, tell us:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Any dietary needs and allergies
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Show us where the van would go
- Put allergy details in writing
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Check the street’s parking rules
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
