Common questions in Northend
Is Northend too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Northend from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. Autumn and winter parties in Northend get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
What affects the price in Northend
These are the factors that matter most:
- Distance and any road charges
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, fill in our quote form.
