Questions from Rushmoor
Is Rushmoor too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in The Flashes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.

The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evening events in Rushmoor have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day

Rushmoor events: pitches and permissions
Rushmoor is about 4 miles south-east of Farnham, in Surrey. For an event in Rushmoor, the van can park on drives, in car parks and yards, and on firm lawns and fields. Rushmoor is one of 395 towns and villages in Surrey where we bring the van. We serve events right across the region, from Rushmoor to Guildford (about 10 miles away).
If visitors are coming by train, the closest railway station is Farnham station, roughly 4.2 miles north-west of the centre. Events in and around the Surrey Hills National Landscape, within about 4 miles of Rushmoor, frequently have rules about vehicles, ground and waste; we work to the site rules.
We cover events in every part of GU10. That could mean an event at a home on Sandy Lane, Lowicks Road and Tilford Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Other places close to Rushmoor we cover include Tilford Common (1 mile north), Pitch Place (1 mile south-east), Crosswater (1 mile south-west), Thursley (2 miles east) and Green Cross (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (10 miles north-east), Woking (13 miles north-east), Camberley (12 miles north), Farnham (4 miles north-west), Frimley (11 miles north) and Haslemere (5 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Haslemere and District Hospital (4.9 miles south) and Farnham Castle (4.8 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Gibbet Hill and Upper Lake.
- Local pubs include Bel And The Dragon-Churt pub (0.9 miles south)
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- The date and time of year
- The length of service
- How far we travel
- Cod, haddock or both
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- A picture of where the van would go
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- Allergies and diets you know about
- The address or venue name
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can fill in our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Share any nut or allergy policies
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Vehicle access before the gates open and after they close
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
