Fish and chip van for events in Iping, fried fresh
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. For country shows and school fairs and sports days, we can cook cod and chips, curry sauce and mushy peas and more.
A fête near Iping might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

What a fish and chip van costs
There is nothing hidden: the quote reflects:
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
- How long we serve
- Access and parking
Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- The address or venue name
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers for adults and children
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Winter fairs in Iping are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Agree who removes waste
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share pitch details
- Display allergens for each stall
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
