How it works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Womenswold, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It is worth asking early.

The closest is Snowdown station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
