Common questions in Loxwood
Do you come out to small places like Loxwood?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Loxwood?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Loxwood?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you do festivals?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether a minimum applies
- Cod, haddock or both
- How long we serve
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
What to tell us
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:

- The date and when you’d like to eat

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. In Loxwood, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or RH14 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and you will get a clear price. To get started, use our quote form.
