What else we do in Salehurst
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Agree the terms in writing
- Share pitch details
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Let visitors know there’s a chip van.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Salehurst
Can you come to a school fair in Salehurst?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Salehurst from London?
About 43 miles from central London.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can get on with your event. Summer fêtes in Salehurst have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It’s battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Numbers
- Cod, haddock or both
- Service time
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and price, we need:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of where the van would go
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Rough numbers for adults and children
