Book the van in Totford
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

The process
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. Summer fêtes in Totford have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
