Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in St Mary Hoo
How far is St Mary Hoo from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like St Mary Hoo?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a photo and tell us about gates and branches.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
