How far is Broughton from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
How it works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Light matters for evening service: in Broughton, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
