Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Tangley
Do you come out to small places like Tangley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Tangley from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for visitors.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll confirm.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options.
Planning the van’s spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Access that avoids crowds
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At midsummer, events in Tangley stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
- Have a level parking spot ready
