How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Winter fairs in Holmer Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Contact us 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.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Clear the route for the van

Common questions in Holmer Green
Is Holmer Green close to London?
About 28 miles from central London.
Do you trade at school fairs around Holmer Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
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.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- Information about power and water
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A clear route onto the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
On the menu in Holmer Green
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
