Meonstoke: your questions answered
Is Meonstoke close to London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you come to a school fair in Meonstoke?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For event organisers in Meonstoke
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The length of service
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
