A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer. Whether it’s sports tournaments and village fêtes and summer fairs, we can cook sausage and chips, cod and chips and haddock and chips.
At a field event near Nutfield, power and water may be limited; tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.

FAQs for Nutfield
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you trade at school fairs around Nutfield?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can the van park on grass?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van come to our fair?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we will let you know if we’re available.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Before you choose a spot
We will be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- Access that avoids crowds
- 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’ll advise.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Winter fairs in Nutfield are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there’s light until about 8:50pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan where the queue will stand
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.

Organising for someone else?
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
