About our fish and chip van for events in Bailey Green

At a fête or show near Bailey Green, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Timings are planned around your event, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- Access and parking
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
- Your choice of menu
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. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people, including children
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, send us your details through our quote form.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
For event organisers in Bailey Green
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Bailey Green: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Is Bailey Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do you have allergen information?

What about visitors who do not eat fish?

Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Often, yes. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. December events in Bailey Green lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
