Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. Popular choices include haddock and chips, sausage and chips and mushy peas, and typical bookings are for church fêtes and fish and chip suppers and community festivals.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Norney: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Norney?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van come to Norney?
We do. We serve events in Norney and across Surrey. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How much does a fish and chip van for your event cost in Norney?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
How long does set-up take?

Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Cod, haddock or both
- The number of meals
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The minimum booking
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A photo of the space and the way in
The quickest way to a quote is to send us your details through our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we will come back with availability and a quote.
How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Norney, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know the serving time

We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, fill in our quote form.

Space, access and the venue
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

A chip van compared with other options
