Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Wyke
Which station is closest to Wyke?
Ash station, about 0.6 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Wyke 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.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Fish and chip van for events in Wyke, fried fresh
Food is fried to order, so it’s hot and crisp. On the menu are mushy peas, chips and haddock and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater sports tournaments and fish and chip supper nights.
Near Wyke, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a chip van is a welcome sight. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Why choose fish and chip van for events in Wyke?
Organisers book a chip van because it is one of the most popular stalls.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Typical bookings include:

If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as Wyke Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.

What a fish and chip van costs
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- The day of the week
- How far we travel
Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Expected numbers
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to a quote is to use our quote form. Tell us about your event in Wyke, and we’ll come back with availability and a quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. December events in Wyke lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, fill in our quote form.

What the van needs
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- What’s available on the pitch
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
