Fairlee: your questions answered
Is Fairlee 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.
Can the van park in Seaclose Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Why choose a fish and chip van in Fairlee?
For something other than turkey, a chip van is hard to beat in Fairlee. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Festive bookings around Fairlee

PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Medina College, suit a chip van. With the sea within about 4 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A short walk from the party
Fairlee is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.

The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In December, it is dark in Fairlee by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
