FAQs for Cooper's Green
Is Cooper's Green close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Cooper's Green 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.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

Where the van can park in Cooper's Green

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Agree who removes waste
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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 solves that by cooking on site.

Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December events in Cooper's Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
