How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Summer events in Pyrton have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

Common questions in Pyrton
How far is Pyrton from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Is Pyrton 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.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How big a pitch do you need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will check it works.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van come to our fair?
Yes, where the date suits. Contact us with the details.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How long we serve
- Distance and any road charges
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Access that avoids crowds
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
