High Salvington questions
Do you trade at school fairs around High Salvington?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How far is High Salvington from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Plan bins near food stalls
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.

Planning the van’s spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- Distance and any road charges
- Whether a minimum applies

The date matters too: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs and allergies

How it works
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, so it is as fresh as from any chip shop. Winter fairs in High Salvington are dark by about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand
