Hollington: your questions answered
Is Hollington 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.
Is Hollington close to London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Berkshire included. Find your area.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Hollington, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Hollington?
Next to a cold buffet, a chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer, and nothing has been out for hours. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
Why us?
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Hot food handed straight over
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather

Where the van can park in Hollington
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Hollington
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips

Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Plan something for guests we can’t cater for
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.
Ask your band or DJ to tell guests the van is open.
