Fish and chip van for events in Slough Green, cooked to order
School fairs and sports days work well with a chip van, with the school’s permission for the van on site. On the menu are cod and chips, chips and sausage and chips, and we are often booked for horse and dog shows and community festivals.
Rural events near Slough Green can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a chip van is a welcome sight. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.

Food your guests will love
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Running an event in Slough Green
Slough Green is about 3 miles north-west of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. In and around Slough Green, the van can serve from a drive, a yard, a car park or a firm field. We serve all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Brighton, about 13 miles away.
School fairs, for a school like Warden Park School, are a natural fit for a fish and chip van. Within about 8 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on vehicles and waste; we’ll follow the site’s requirements.

How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In Slough Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
