Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Fawley
Do you trade at school fairs around Fawley?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Set a time for helpers’ food
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Space, access and the venue
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Information about power and water
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
