Fish and chip van for events in Coneyhurst, cooked to order
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it is summer fairs and charity fundraisers and community events, we can cook chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas.
Rural events near Coneyhurst can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. We serve from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Coneyhurst: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Coneyhurst?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Coneyhurst close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Prices and what affects them
There’s nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- Distance and any road charges
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
- Whether a minimum applies
The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A picture of where the van would go
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
For event organisers in Coneyhurst
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it is a favourite with children.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. December events in Coneyhurst lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
