Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your event. December events in Madley Park lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Make sure allergen information is available
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
The menu, dish by dish
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

Do you do festivals?

What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Planning the van’s spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Details of any power or water on site
- Access that avoids crowds
- Space for a queue away from paths
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
