Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
What happens on the day
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. In Eastbury, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Fairy lights by the van help once it gets dark.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Questions from Eastbury
Is Eastbury too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Food your guests will love
