The process
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, events in Albury stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What else we do in Albury
Questions from Albury
Is Albury 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.
Is Albury close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share pitch details
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Have other stalls for special diets
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
