Fish and chip van for events for Row Town events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Row Town
A chip van suits school fairs and sports days, once the school agrees where the van goes. Whether it is food for volunteers and country shows, we’ll put together a menu of chips, haddock and chips and mushy peas for your guests.
Village fêtes and summer fairs around Row Town are made for a chip van. Tell us about the pitch, ground and access. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and service is quick once we are up and running.
Row Town events: pitches and permissions
Row Town is about 3 miles west of Weybridge, in Surrey. In and around Row Town, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. Row Town is one of 395 places in Surrey where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Row Town to Guildford (about 9 miles away).
School fairs, for a school like Holy Family Catholic Primary School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. An event in Woburn Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, generally the council.
We cover events in every part of the KT15 postcode area. Local streets include Coombe Drive, Franklands Drive and Dickens Drive; an event on any of them works well with a drive or nearby car park.

Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (9 miles south), Woking (4 miles south-west), Camberley (10 miles west), Epsom (10 miles east), Ewell (11 miles east) and Egham (5 miles north).

For event organisers in Row Town
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
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 normally simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that does not block walkways
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
From the hatch

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At larger events, a van adds to the mix. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
Why Row Town hosts choose us
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
- A quote that spells everything out
- A van that becomes part of the event
- Served hot, straight from the hatch
Step by step
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 Row Town, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
