A chip van near Souldern
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Souldern stay light until about 9:30pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Let us know the serving time
How to get a price
