Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Ellen's Green
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Ellen's Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you cover Ellen's Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Ellen's Green and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Away from emergency access
- A route in without tight gates
- Light near the van after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
