Fish and chip van for events in Hamsey Green, fried fresh
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we will let you know if we’re available. For school fairs and sports days and community festivals, we’ll put together a menu of chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
Near Hamsey Green, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Common questions in Hamsey Green
Could you trade in Blanchman's Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Hamsey Green from London?
Roughly 13 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Fish and chip van pricing is simple once we know the basics:
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- Parking and the way in
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- Where the event is
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Roughly how many people, including children
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
What you get with us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones
- A quote that spells everything out
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Winter fairs in Hamsey Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
Ask for a quote
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
