Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Hamsey Green
How far is Hamsey Green from London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in Blanchman's Farm?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Party fish and chip van for your party in Hamsey Green
Guests who don’t know each other end up chatting in the queue, which is what a party is all about. We’re often asked to cater neighbourhood get-togethers and family parties with children, serving curry sauce, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In a small place like Hamsey Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

- How far we travel
