DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.
Common questions in Lower Eashing
Do you come out to small places like Lower Eashing?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Lower Eashing from London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Frequently, yes. Contact us with the details.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
How do you charge at fêtes?
Tell us how your event normally works with traders, and we’ll find something that works.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
We set up before visitors arrive.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
