Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear route onto the pitch
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for

- Share any nut or allergy policies
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

- No kitchen needed

- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- We cover Dora's Green and the whole of Surrey

DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Perfect for your event in Dora's Green
A chip van is reliably one of the busiest pitches.
Big or small, the van works the same way. Common bookings include:
- Sports club events and race days
- Music and food festivals
- Church fêtes and fish and chip suppers
- Sports days
For anyone arriving by train, the closest railway station is Farnham station, roughly 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
What your quote should include
- What the price includes, item by item
- What happens if the event is cancelled or moved
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether VAT is included
The process
We do not cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, so it’s as fresh as from any chip shop. For an evening event in Dora's Green, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
