FAQs for Hethe
Is Hethe too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Hethe close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an evening event in Hethe, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Preparing for the day

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Set a time for helpers’ food
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
- Distance and any road charges
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. We quote for each booking individually.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your event, the better we can plan. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where you’d like the van to go
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can use our quote form.
For event organisers in Hethe
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
