Where the van can park in Mayes Green
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What affects the price in Mayes Green
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- The date and time of year
- The minimum booking
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the parking spot
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.

Questions from Mayes Green
Is Mayes Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Mayes Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes. We’ll agree access before the children arrive.
What are the terms for events?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll agree terms.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In Mayes Green, 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.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in
