Can you serve after a service at St George?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Hillhead too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hillhead.
Space, access and the venue

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
