About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
What happens on the day
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Visitors typically gather round the hatch once service starts. Summer fêtes in Bagshot have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Clear the route for the van
How to get a price
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.
Why us?
- Classic food your visitors already know
- Hot food handed straight over
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Access that avoids crowds
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Organising for someone else?
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- Your choice of menu
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Details that help
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Your date and serving time
- The address or venue name
- A picture of the parking spot
- Expected numbers
