Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Farleigh Green
Is Farleigh 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.
Which station is closest to Farleigh Green?
East Farleigh station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
