Choosing a fish and chip van

For planners, venues and organisers

Organising a club, school or community event in Hinton Waldrist? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Give us the details and we will suggest how it could work.

If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Step by step

Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. At midsummer, Hinton Waldrist has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.

  1. First, the plan: what, where and what time.
  2. We come back with availability and a clear price.
  3. The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
  4. Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
  5. We leave the spot as we found it.

Preparing for the day

  • Ensure the van can get in
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Yes, on level ground at base.

Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
