Planners, venues and businesses

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
About our fish and chip van for events in Pitshanger
When there is hot food, people stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Whether it’s village fêtes and summer fairs and fundraisers, we’ll put together a menu of cod and chips, chips and haddock and chips and more.
Street parties and school fairs in Pitshanger are a great fit for a chip van, once the permissions are in place. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Pitshanger
Could you trade in Castle Bar Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about parking in Pitshanger?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Pitshanger.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it 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 have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Where the van can park in Pitshanger
Every site is different, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
As a London location, Pitshanger is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.

Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Share pitch details
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Agree when volunteers will eat
When the event closes, we pack up.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. For an evening event in Pitshanger, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Share the timings for the day
