FAQs for Clatterford
Do you trade at school fairs around Clatterford?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
