Fish and chip van for events in Brooklands
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Brooklands
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van, from small community events to bigger crowds. We serve mushy peas, curry sauce and cod and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater festivals and feeding event crew.
Summer fairs around Brooklands are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Questions from Brooklands
Can you come to a school fair in Brooklands?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How far is Brooklands from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we will explain the options.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you do festivals?
Frequently, yes. Contact us with the details.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.

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.

Brooklands is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Brooklands to Guildford (9 miles away).
An event in Woburn Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, normally the council. Church fêtes, at churches such as Church of St Charles Borromeo, are a natural home for a chip van.

What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Summer events in Brooklands have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Get permission for the van from the venue

Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
