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 generally the easier option.

Common questions in Skittle Green
Can you come to a school fair in Skittle Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Skittle Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not 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.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you do festivals?
Frequently, yes. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. For an evening event in Skittle Green, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
