Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Send allergies to us in writing

A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Little Atherfield questions
Is Little Atherfield 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.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. See all areas.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Can the van come to Little Atherfield?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Little Atherfield. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
