Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At bigger events, a chip van works alongside other traders and spreads the queues. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Peasmarsh
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Is Peasmarsh too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Can the van come to Peasmarsh?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Peasmarsh and the rest of Surrey. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Access that avoids crowds
- Somewhere firm if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
Step by step
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, events in Peasmarsh stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
How to get a price
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A picture of the spot helps too. When you’re ready, send us your details through our quote form.
