Fish and chip van for events in Mytchett, cooked to order
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers. For summer fairs and charity fundraisers and community events, we’ll put together a menu of curry sauce, mushy peas and sausage and chips for your guests.
For events in a place like Mytchett, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Fish and chips does exactly that. We serve from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we’re up and running.
About the food
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Questions from Mytchett
Which station is closest to Mytchett?
Farnborough North station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Mytchett from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we are available.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Mytchett?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Where the van can park in Mytchett
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
Why book our van in Mytchett
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- Nothing for you to cook or clear
- A menu almost everyone likes
How it works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an evening event in Mytchett, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you are ready, send us your details through our quote form.

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the space and the way in
