Questions from Hindhead
Is Hindhead close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Hindhead?
The closest is Haslemere station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can you park at our house?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Sunset in Hindhead is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. After dark, light the area around the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

- The date and time of the event
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.
