Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree who removes waste
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Tell us about the pitch
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
The process
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Ashington, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Ashington
Can you come to a school fair in Ashington?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Ashington too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you cover Ashington?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Ashington and across West Sussex. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Yes, where the date suits. Contact us with the details.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
