DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Agree who removes waste
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Settle the pitch terms early
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.

The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Winter fairs in Farley Wood are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Let us know the serving time

Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
What can visitors choose from?

Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
