Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree the terms in writing
- Tell us about the pitch
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Arrange bins and waste collection
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your event in Hartley Wintney. In Hartley Wintney, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day

- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Hartley Wintney questions
How far is Hartley Wintney from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Can you come to a school fair in Hartley Wintney?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
