The process
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. By about 4:00pm in late December, it is dark in Clanfield; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.

Clanfield questions
Is Clanfield 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 Clanfield close to London?
About 66 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
How early do Christmas dates go?
As soon as you have a date.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you do work Christmas parties?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
