Stockwell: After a service at St. Andrew's, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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.
Questions from SW9
Cod or haddock?
We serve cod and haddock; we’ll agree the choice when we quote.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
How does fish and chip van hire work?
We arrive with the van, cook fresh on site, and serve when you are ready to eat.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
