The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.

Fish and chip van for events in Aldershot, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. Popular choices include cod and chips, chips and mushy peas, and we are frequently booked for country shows and summer fairs.
A town like Aldershot has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. A chip van suits all of them. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Display allergens for each stall
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Tell us about the pitch

Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Burger vans are common at events. A chip van gives visitors something different. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We’ll send you a quote.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Aldershot
Can you come to a school fair in Aldershot?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Aldershot from London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
What does the pitch need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
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 will tell you honestly what we can offer.
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. At midsummer, events in Aldershot stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
