Questions from Woolbridge
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you come to a school fair in Woolbridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Mention any power or water.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:

- Parking and the way in

- The date and time of year
The cost per head usually falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. 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 anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A clear route onto the pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Chips
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. In Woolbridge, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
