Fish and chip van for events in Kingsley Green, fried fresh
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. On the menu are curry sauce, cod and chips and haddock and chips, and we’re often booked for festivals and village fêtes and summer fairs.
Rural events near Kingsley Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Everything is fried fresh at your event, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Common questions in Kingsley Green
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Kingsley Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you cover Kingsley Green?
Yes, we do. Kingsley Green is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
- A clear route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
For event organisers in Kingsley Green
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
The process
Nothing is cooked before it is needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it is ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Kingsley Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
