A chip van near Hale
Common questions in Hale
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Hale 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.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Do you come to Hale?
Yes, we do. Hale is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In Hale, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:10pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
