Fish and chip van for events for your event in Chobham
Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. We serve cod and chips, haddock and chips and chips, and we are regularly asked to cater community open days and music and food festivals.
Summer fairs around Chobham are frequently run by volunteers, so a self-sufficient van helps. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Where the van can park in Chobham
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Sausage and chips
- Mushy peas
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
The process
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Visitors generally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For an evening event in Chobham, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
How to get a price
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: tell us the basics about your event, and we will firm it up nearer the time. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.

What affects the price in Chobham
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- Cod, haddock or both
- Whether a minimum applies
- The number of meals
- How far we travel
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Please include:
- The address or venue name
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The date and time of the event

Chobham questions
Do you trade at school fairs around Chobham?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
For planners, venues and organisers
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planning an event for a club, school or charity in Chobham? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Give us the details and we’ll suggest how it could work.
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
