Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How long we serve
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
What to tell us
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but these help:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Rough numbers for adults and children
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Who books fish and chip van for events in Chale Green?
It is low-maintenance for organisers, because we bring what we need.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are often booked for:
- Sports club events and race days
- Fish and chip supper nights

- How allergens are handled
- Any travel, parking or access charges
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
For somewhere as remote as Chale Green, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

In Chale Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
