The Valley: your questions answered
Can the van park in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first.
Is The Valley 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.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
About the food
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger staff and fish-dodgers.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. A lunch-break van visit in The Valley is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:50pm in December or 7:00pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
