How our fish and chip van for events works in St George's Hill
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We serve chips, mushy peas and haddock and chips, and we are frequently booked for food for volunteers and fish and chip supper nights.
In St George's Hill, one popular trader keeps it simple. Fish and chips does exactly that. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
The process
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Summer events in St George's Hill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Tell us when you want to eat

Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
Planning help
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Mushy peas
- Chips
- Cod and chips
- Curry sauce
- Sausage and chips
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch, at the agreed time.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
St George's Hill questions
Is St George's Hill close to London?
About 18 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to St George's Hill?
Weybridge station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.
What are the terms for events?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including St George's Hill.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do you need on the pitch?
Send us the pitch details, and we will check it works.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
At a small fête, one good trader may be all you need, with cakes and teas alongside. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
