Running an event in Little Sandhurst
Little Sandhurst is about 1 mile west of Sandhurst, in Bracknell Forest. Wherever your event is in the GU47 area, we can fry fresh for your visitors. Little Sandhurst is one of 41 towns and villages in Bracknell Forest we cover. We serve events right across the region, from Little Sandhurst to Reading (10 miles away).
A summer fête at Church of St Michael is the classic setting for a fish and chip van. If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as New Scotland Hill Primary School, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser.

Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. At midsummer, events in Little Sandhurst stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day

- Make sure allergen information is available
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for

A few benches near the van help.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
A chip van compared with other options
Most events have a burger van. Fish and chips adds variety. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why us?
- Quick service from the hatch
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- A menu almost everyone likes
- We cover Little Sandhurst and the whole of Bracknell Forest

FAQs for Little Sandhurst
Is Little Sandhurst close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Ambarrow Court?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Frequently, yes. Get in touch with the details.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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.
