Organising a club, school or community event in Long Hanborough? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Distance and any road charges
- Access and parking
- The length of service
- The number of meals
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is normally the best value.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the space and the way in
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, it’s light in Long Hanborough until about 9:30pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Long Hanborough
Is Long Hanborough close to London?
About 60 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
