Planning an event in Mottisfont?
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Mottisfont: your questions answered
Is Mottisfont too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Mottisfont?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Access that avoids crowds
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
