Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London.
Is Preston Bissett too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
Can the van come to our fair?
Frequently, yes. Get in touch with the details.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
