Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
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.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Midsummer parties in Alfriston stay bright until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:05pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- Send us 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.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Alfriston: your questions answered
How far is Alfriston from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Alfriston 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.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Alfriston.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
