Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Forty Hill
What about parking in Forty Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Do you trade at school fairs around Forty Hill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How big a pitch do you need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.

- Events in Forty Hill and across Greater London

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Details of any power or water on site
Forty Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve

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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
