How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. December events in Argos Hill lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

FAQs for Argos Hill
How far is Argos Hill from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.
Is Argos Hill 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 grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Agree who removes waste
- Share pitch details
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree the terms in writing
Plan where the queue forms.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.

A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Prices and what affects them

- The day of the week
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
- Numbers

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
