Church Hanborough questions
Is Church Hanborough 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.
Which station is closest to Church Hanborough?
Hanborough station, about 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event generally works with traders, and we will agree terms.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Make sure allergen information is available
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
When the event closes, we pack up.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.

For event organisers in Church Hanborough
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
How the day works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. At midsummer, events in Church Hanborough stay light until about 9:30pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
