For event organisers in Dunsbury
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Dunsbury? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
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.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your crew can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Light in Dunsbury lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
- We start with the location, call times and crew numbers.
- We check the route and the unit base and send a price.
- We arrange the van’s spot at the unit base with locations.
- We set up at the unit base and fry to order for the lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Why choose a fish and chip van in Dunsbury?
Ordering takeaway to a location is unreliable. A van cooks at the unit base. 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.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send final numbers the day before
- Collect diets and allergies with crew details
After service, we pack up and get out of the way.
A gazebo by the van keeps the line dry.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating

The coast is within about 4 miles of Dunsbury, and coastal unit bases can be exposed.
