FAQs for Glassenbury
Can you come to a school fair in Glassenbury?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Glassenbury too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How far ahead should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.

We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
