Leverton: your questions answered
Is Leverton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Read how we price and what a fish and chip van costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 solves that by cooking on site.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Summer events in Leverton have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.
Planning help
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Agree when volunteers will eat
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
