Fish and chip van for events in Molesey
Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first visitors wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For an evening event in Molesey, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Questions from Molesey
Is Molesey close to London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Cigarette Island Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Yes, where the date suits. Contact us with the details.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.
