FAQs for Grimsbury
Could you trade in People's Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Grimsbury from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you serve visitors at events?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. After-work summer events in Grimsbury have daylight until about 9:30pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- You tell us the date, the site, rough numbers and your break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just send us your details through our quote form.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Whether a minimum applies
A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
