Questions from Fawler
Which station is closest to Fawler?
Fawler has its own station: Finstock station.
Is Fawler too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How big a pitch do you need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Do you do festivals?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree it in writing.

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans, and they’re on the menu.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Tell us about the pitch
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A few benches near the van help.
For event organisers in Fawler
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
