Fish and chip van for events in Ewell
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
How our fish and chip van for events works in Ewell
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. For agricultural and country shows and charity fundraisers and community events, we’ll put together a menu of chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas and more.
In Ewell, 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.
Where the van can park in Ewell
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A clear route onto the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Your choice of menu
- Service time
- The day of the week
- The number of meals
Larger groups usually cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
These details help us quote quickly:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Where the van would park
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. When you are ready, fill in our quote form.
How it works
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. Winter fairs in Ewell are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
