What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Details of any power or water on site
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
