Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Show us where the van would go
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
Keep the queue away from the road if the van is on the drive.
A few lights around the van look great.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Questions from Kingswood
How far is Kingswood from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Kingswood 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.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
