How our fish and chip van for events works in Camberley
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will tell you quickly whether we can come. We are frequently asked to cater sports club events and race days and fundraisers, serving haddock and chips, curry sauce and sausage and chips.
School fairs, fêtes and summer events in Camberley suit a chip van: it draws a crowd and serves hot food to order. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
About the food
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Camberley: your questions answered
Could you trade in Tekels Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Can you come to a school fair in Camberley?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What can visitors choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Camberley?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will confirm.
What else we do in Camberley
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Space for a queue away from paths
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
Next to a volunteer barbecue, a chip van frees your helpers. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
Why us?
- Fish and chips fried fresh on site
- No kitchen needed
- Works on wet days as well as sunny ones

Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Camberley, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Tell us when you want to eat
