About our fish and chip van for events in Awbridge
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will let you know if we are available. Typical bookings include summer fairs and sports days, serving chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
At a field event near Awbridge, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

- Hot food handed straight over
- Classic food your visitors already know
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

Prices and what affects them
These are the factors that matter most:
- Parking and the way in
- Distance and any road charges
- Your choice of menu
- The day of the week
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.

Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Awbridge questions
Can you come to a school fair in Awbridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What’s the nearest station to Awbridge?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Confirmation the van can trade there
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
