FAQs for Hook
Can the van park in Stokes Field?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van come to Hook?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Hook and across Greater London. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.

What else we do in Hook
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Give us separate numbers for children
Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.

Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A spot near your guests
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
As a London location, Hook is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
