Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree who removes waste
- Agree the terms in writing
- Have other stalls for special diets
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The minimum booking
- The length of service
- Distance and any road charges
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It is worth asking early.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Tile Hurst
How far is Tile Hurst from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you trade at school fairs around Tile Hurst?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with frying and serving. December events in Tile Hurst lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
