Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Snoll Hatch? A fish and chip van draws people in and almost everyone likes it. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- A clear route to base
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- Lighting for early or late service

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger crew and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
