Questions from Hampden Park
Which station is closest to Hampden Park?
Hampden Park station, in Hampden Park itself.
Can you serve near the sea around Hampden Park?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What a fish and chip van costs
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the parking spot

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
