A chip van near Freeland
The process
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Planning an evening event in Freeland? Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

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.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from Freeland
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Freeland close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Freeland.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The date and time of year
- Service time
- The minimum booking
Larger groups generally cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of where the van would go
- Dietary needs, with numbers
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability right away.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A cold buffet is simple, but food sits out, and nothing’s hot on a cool evening. A chip van cooks to order and serves hot. 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.
Why us?
- Rain doesn’t stop the fryers
