Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Nettlecombe
Can you serve near the sea around Nettlecombe?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Is Nettlecombe too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
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.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you come to Nettlecombe?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Nettlecombe. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
