Fish and chip van for events in Hampton, cooked to order
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. Whether it’s summer fairs and sports days, we can cook chips, mushy peas and cod and chips.
In Hampton, a chip van suits school fairs and street parties, once the permissions are in place. The menu is short on purpose: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Hampton
What’s the nearest station to Hampton?
The closest is Hampton station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Do you trade at school fairs around Hampton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Hampton.
What does the pitch need?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How we price a fish and chip van for your event
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
- The number of meals
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- A photo of the parking spot
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Anything awkward about the way in
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time, and we will reply with a quote. Just fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer fêtes in Hampton have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Organising a club, school or community event in Hampton? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why us?
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A clear quote before booking
- All the chip-shop extras
- Something for visitors to gather round

Space, access and the venue
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Somewhere firm if it rains
As a London location, Hampton is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
