Fish and chip van for events for Deepcut events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Deepcut
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we’ll tell you quickly whether we can come. Typical bookings include church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and community festivals, serving sausage and chips, chips and cod and chips.
Events near Deepcut are frequently volunteer-run, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Before you choose a spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Chips

What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- A picture of the parking spot
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
Questions from Deepcut
Can the van park in Frimley Lodge Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
Can you come to a school fair in Deepcut?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Agree the terms in writing
- Have other stalls for special diets
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Having the party at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. For an evening event in Deepcut, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

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. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
