Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Burcott
Is Burcott too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Burcott from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.

Where the van can park in Burcott

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
What affects the price in Burcott
These are the factors that matter most:
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Parking and the way in
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
What to tell us
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but these help:
- A picture of where the van would go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Where the van would park
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Summer events in Burcott have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
