Fish and chip van for events in East Molesey, fried fresh
Send us the event details and the pitch information, and we’ll let you know if we’re available. We’re frequently asked to cater feeding event crew and club open days, serving cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
For events in a place like East Molesey, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. A chip van does that. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
How the day works
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In East Molesey, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Make sure the van can get in

Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is East Molesey from London?

What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.

We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
What’s on the menu?

Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
When the event closes, we pack up.
