Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. Typical bookings include crew and volunteer catering and sports days, with sausage and chips, curry sauce and chips.
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though.

- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.

For planners, venues and organisers
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.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- What’s available on the pitch

Common questions in Bracknell Forest
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How do you charge at fêtes?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
