About our fish and chip van for events in Fernhill
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. For school summer fairs and festivals, we will put together a menu of curry sauce, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Rural events near Fernhill can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Where the van can park in Fernhill
Plenty of places work for the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Details of any power or water on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The closest is Gatwick Airport station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you come to a school fair in Fernhill?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you cover Fernhill?
We do. We serve events in Fernhill and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Give us numbers and a time.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.

Compared with a barbecue run by volunteers, a van means volunteers can enjoy the day. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is frequently good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.

- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
