What else we do in Hambrook
The process
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your party. The frying and serving are down to us. A summer party in Hambrook stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
How to get a price
Each quote is put together for your party. Give us your date first, and we will confirm whether we’re available that day.

Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Where the van can park in Hambrook
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A takeaway order for a party takes ages and arrives lukewarm. The van cooks right there. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Common questions in Hambrook
Is Hambrook close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at St Wilfrid's Church and Hall?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Perfect for your party in Hambrook
It works at home: a drive or a firm spot near the garden will do.
