Sandhurst questions
Could you trade in Sandhurst Memorial Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you trade at school fairs around Sandhurst?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.

About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.

What a fish and chip van costs
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, because of:
- The number of meals
- Access and parking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and how many choices
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
Getting an accurate quote
When you get in touch, it helps to tell us:
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Anything awkward about the way in
Each quote is put together for your event. Give us your date first, and we will check availability straight away.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it is served. At midsummer, events in Sandhurst stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Planning help
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
- Tell us expected visitor numbers
- Share any nut or allergy policies
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
- 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
