Eddington questions
Is Eddington close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What do children eat?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.

Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Confirm allergies by email
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Mention the van to neighbours
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A few lights around the van look great.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
The process
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we will adjust start times and pace. In Eddington, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
