FAQs for Tickleback Row
Is Tickleback Row too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Tickleback Row close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
How many people should we cater for?
Give us your best estimate, and we’ll plan with a little extra.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you be flexible on the day?
We allow for it. We will work to your contact on the day.

What affects the price in Tickleback Row
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Your choice of menu
Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We’ll send you a quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- A picture of where the van would go
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
We only need a few details to quote: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
A chip van compared with other options
A pub or venue may cater a wake themselves. A van works where they do not, or at home. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so tell us exactly where your wake is.
What you get with us
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
