Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. In Brill, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
