Hoyle questions
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hoyle too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

For event organisers in Hoyle
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
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.
A chip van compared with other options
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
Why book our van in Hoyle
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Hot food handed straight over
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- All the chip-shop extras
See how we price and the cost guide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December events in Hoyle lose the light at about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Have a level parking spot ready

Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.

What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
