Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. Winter fairs in Middlegreen are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us a contact for the day
- Clear the route for the van

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Common questions in Middlegreen
Can you come to a school fair in Middlegreen?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Could you trade in Ditton Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share pitch details
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
Put bins near the queue.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
