Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Streatley
Is Streatley too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Organising for someone else?
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
