Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Agree who removes waste
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Mark out the queue area away from walkways, especially near rides and games.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
How it works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In Titchfield Park, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
