How our fish and chip van for events works in Egham
The smell of fish and chips brings a queue to any fête. A chip van gives organisers a hot-food trader that almost everyone wants. Whether it’s fundraisers and school summer fairs, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips for your guests.
In Egham, schools, clubs and churches run summer events. A chip van suits all of them. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.

What else we do in Egham
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
