FAQs for Fyfield
What’s the nearest station to Fyfield?
Grateley station, about 3.7 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Fyfield close to London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event generally works with traders, and we will find something that works.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Summer events in Fyfield have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
Ask for a quote
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
