Whitehill questions
Is Whitehill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Whitehill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
How do you charge at fêtes?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

About the food
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
For event organisers in Whitehill
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
