For a village fête or field event near East Worldham, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.

What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas

Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What happens on the day
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. At midsummer, events in East Worldham stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- 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.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Clear the route for the van

East Worldham: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to East Worldham?
Alton station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Is East Worldham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Your choice of menu
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- Access and parking
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of where the van would go
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
