Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Agree who removes waste
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Aaron's Hill
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. We serve cod and chips, chips and sausage and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater community festivals and crew and volunteer catering.
In Aaron's Hill, one popular trader keeps it simple. A chip van does that. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

What happens on the day
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. At midsummer, events in Aaron's Hill stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare

Common questions in Aaron's Hill
What’s the nearest station to Aaron's Hill?
Godalming station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
How far is Aaron's Hill from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
These are the factors that matter most:
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve
- Whether a minimum applies
- Numbers
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
