Fish and chip van for events for your event in Chertsey
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. For crew and volunteer catering and sports days, we can cook sausage and chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Chertsey are made for a chip van. Send us the pitch and access details. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Chertsey?
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.

Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
About the food
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share pitch details
- Agree when volunteers will eat
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.
Chertsey questions
Could you trade in Woburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around Chertsey?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you cover Chertsey?
Yes, we do. Chertsey is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What can visitors choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How the day works
You do not need to do much on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Summer events in Chertsey have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, use our quote form.
Planning help
Why choose fish and chip van for events in Chertsey?
It suits almost every visitor, from families to older visitors.
Whatever brings people together, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We’re frequently booked for:
- Church fêtes and fish and chip suppers
- Fundraisers
- Food for volunteers
- Horse and dog shows
If your event is in Woburn Park, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for vehicles and traders.
What to look for in a quote
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- Payment terms and deposit
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
