A chip van near Sandleheath
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Summer events in Sandleheath have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:05pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Make sure the van can get in
How to get a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat, and you’ll get a clear price. To get started, send us your details through our quote form.

The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, which helps volunteer-run events. Popular choices include cod and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for food for volunteers and country shows.
For a village fête or field event near Sandleheath, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Tell us about the ground and the way in. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your event, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

About the food
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Contact us with the details.
Is the food cooked at the event?

Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
