About the food
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
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. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Where the van can park in Mill Lane
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Access that avoids crowds
- Information about power and water
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Mill Lane
Is Mill Lane close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Could you trade in Basingbourne Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event generally works with traders, and we’ll agree terms.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll confirm.
