Fish and chip van for events in Stanwell Moor, cooked to order
Country shows and field events suit a van, as long as there’s a firm route onto the pitch. We’re often asked to cater country shows and festivals, with mushy peas, curry sauce and chips.
Rural events near Stanwell Moor can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so fish and chips goes down well. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and service is quick once we are up and running.

FAQs for Stanwell Moor
Can the van park in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you come to a school fair in Stanwell Moor?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Stanwell Moor.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organising a club, school or community event in Stanwell Moor? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. At midsummer, events in Stanwell Moor stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Tell us about the pitch
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
- 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
