Questions from Singleton
Is Singleton close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Singleton?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Often, yes. Get in touch with the details.

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Singleton is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Arrange bins and waste collection
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.

A closer look at the menu
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the side most people expect.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Singleton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
