Party fish and chip van for your party in Hill Grove

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Hill Grove
Is Hill Grove too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Hill Grove from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.

Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

We’ll give you a clear quote. What affects it most:

The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
What to tell us

- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The date and time of the event
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Ensure the van can park legally
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically

For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
