If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Dame Alice Owen's School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. An event in King George's Fields (Monken Hadley) means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, normally the council.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. Winter fairs in Dancers Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
