About our fish and chip van for events in Mayford
Everything is cooked as people come up, so nothing sits waiting. We serve haddock and chips, cod and chips and chips, and we are frequently booked for summer fairs and community festivals.
At a fête or show near Mayford, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet, and handed over as soon as it’s ready.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. December events in Mayford lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- 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.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Common questions in Mayford
Is Mayford close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Send us the date and the spot.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How do you charge at fêtes?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree terms before the day.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.

- The minimum booking
- Service time
- Your choice of menu

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and help find another. What matters most:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
