The process

In Chambers' Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day

Is Chambers' Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Chambers' Green?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you do festivals?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is grass a problem?

Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Details of any power or water on site
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
