How our fish and chip van for events works in Addlestone
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Whether it is horse and dog shows and crew and volunteer catering, we’ll put together a menu of chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips for your guests.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Addlestone are made for a chip van. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance and any road charges
- Any minimum charge
- Numbers

Fairs, fêtes and events in Addlestone
Addlestone is about 5 miles north-east of Woking, in Surrey. Across the KT15 area, we can fry fresh for your visitors. Addlestone is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Addlestone to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
For a church fête or fundraiser, at a church such as St Paul's, a chip van adds hot food to the cakes and tombola. PTAs at schools such as Darley Dene Primary School often want one reliable hot-food stall.
This part of Surrey takes in KT15. Local streets include Market Street, High Street and Station Road; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park. You’ll find Addlestone on the A317 and A318, which makes the journey straightforward. We also bring the van to events in New Haw (1 mile south), Brooklands (2 miles south-east), Weybridge (2 miles east), St George's Hill (2 miles east) and Byfleet (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (9 miles south), Woking (5 miles south-west), Camberley (11 miles west), Epsom (10 miles east), Ewell (10 miles east) and Egham (5 miles north-west).
Nearby you’ll also find Runnymede Hospital (1.5 miles west). Within reach you’ll find St Ann's Hill and Gracious Pond.
- Nearby schools include Jubilee High School (0.6 miles west) and St George's College Weybridge (0.7 miles east)
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Summer fêtes in Addlestone have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for

We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

What else we do in Addlestone
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Access that avoids crowds
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Chips
- Mushy peas
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
