Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Hatchet Green
Can you come to a school fair in Hatchet Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Hatchet Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
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.
