Alkerton: your questions answered
Is Alkerton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your Christmas party. December in Alkerton means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
