FAQs for Cackle Street
Is Cackle Street too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will agree terms.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
For a stall visitors will queue for, a fish and chip van is a great choice in Cackle Street. Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

How the day works

- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
