What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Occasions we serve in Silverhill
A chip van is reliably one of the busiest pitches.
Whatever the occasion in Silverhill, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We regularly serve:

School fairs, for a school like Christ Church CofE Primary and Nursery Academy, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van.

- Distance and any road charges
- How long we serve
- How many people are eating
- Any minimum charge
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We’ll tell you up front.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name

Silverhill questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Silverhill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Silverhill from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events in Silverhill have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
