What comes out of the fryer

FAQs for Holton Hill
Can you come to a school fair in Holton Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Holton Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For an evening event in Holton Hill, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Clear the route for the van
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Larger groups generally 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.
Why book with us
- A clear quote before booking
- No kitchen needed
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
Take a look at our pricing and the cost guide.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
- 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
