What affects the price in Sandhurst
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- How long we serve
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
- Access and parking
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- A picture of the parking spot
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- Where the event is
- Where the van would park
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. Light in Sandhurst lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
- Flag any coeliac crew
- Confirm numbers the day before
Fewer choices mean faster service.
A dining area at base helps.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space in front of the hatch
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Access checked by locations
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
On the menu in Sandhurst
- Sausage and chips

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A full location catering unit suits long shoots with three meals a day. A chip van suits short shoots and treat days. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. We set everything out in your quote.
Why book with us
- Classic food your crew already know
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- No surprises in your quote

No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Questions from Sandhurst
Can the van park in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Sandhurst?
The closest is Sandhurst station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you have documents for productions?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we will go through it.
Can the van come to Sandhurst?
We do. Sandhurst is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
