Fish and chip van for events for Saint Hill Green events
How our fish and chip van for events works in Saint Hill Green
Fêtes, school fairs, festivals and shows all suit a chip van. Popular choices include chips, haddock and chips and curry sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater sports club events and race days and village fêtes and summer fairs.
A fête near Saint Hill Green might be on a field with no mains power; let us know and we’ll plan for it. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, so the batter is still crisp when it’s handed over.

The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. December events in Saint Hill Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
