The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Late September evenings in Wye lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. After dark, a lit path to the van makes a difference.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Planning help
Why choose a fish and chip van in Wye?
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. The van cooks right there, so it is crisp when it is handed over. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your event.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.

Questions from Wye
Is Wye 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.
How far is Wye from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
