Fresh fish and chips in Lambs Green
How our fish and chip van for events works in Lambs Green
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. Typical bookings include community festivals and crew and volunteer catering, serving haddock and chips, chips and sausage and chips.
A fête near Lambs Green might be on a field with no mains power; tell us what’s available and we will plan around it. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

Is Lambs Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you trade at school fairs around Lambs Green?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lambs Green.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information.

Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Lambs Green is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Is the fish gluten-free?

The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Share last year’s numbers if you have them
- Share pitch details
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
Space, access and the venue
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
