Fish and chip van for events in Walderton
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Winter fairs in Walderton are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Before you choose a spot
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. What matters most:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Space for a queue away from paths
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

Walderton: your questions answered
Is Walderton 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.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can the van come to our fair?
Frequently, yes. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
