Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Where the van can park in Locksgreen
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Locksgreen is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Locksgreen?
A hog roast is pork only, while a chip van gives people a choice. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.

FAQs for Locksgreen
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you come out to small places like Locksgreen?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Is there a kids’ option?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
