Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Give us an idea of numbers
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Let visitors know there is a chip van.
The process
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, and we agree exactly where before the day. For an evening event in Hythe End, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
