Fish and chip van for events in Knaphill
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Knaphill
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. On the menu are curry sauce, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and typical bookings are for fundraisers and country shows.
Around Knaphill, a fête or summer fair suits fish and chips. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Share pitch details
- Have other stalls for special diets
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.

How the day works
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. For an evening event in Knaphill, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Plan where the queue will stand
