We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. Whether it’s sports club events and race days and village fêtes, we can cook mushy peas, sausage and chips and chips and more.
For a village fête or field event near Slinfold, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

Slinfold: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Slinfold too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Get in touch with the details.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
