How far is Shabbington from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.

Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Plan bins by the hatch
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn if you have a lot of guests.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
