Egham Hythe: your questions answered
Do you trade at school fairs around Egham Hythe?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Is Egham Hythe close to London?
About 19 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event generally works with traders, and we’ll agree terms.
Do you cover Egham Hythe?
Yes, we do. Egham Hythe is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
Crew food is served at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.
What happens on the day
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace. Summer fêtes in Egham Hythe have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll come back with a clear quote.

Organising for someone else?

For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- Your choice of menu
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
What we need to know
You don’t need everything decided to ask for a quote, but it helps to know:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, use our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
