FAQs for Sturry
Which station is closest to Sturry?
Sturry station, in Sturry itself.
How far is Sturry from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
About our fish and chip van for events in Sturry
We can trade to the public or feed your volunteers. We serve chips, sausage and chips and haddock and chips, and we are often booked for festivals and sports days.
Summer fairs around Sturry are frequently run by volunteers, so a trader who brings everything is a bonus. We plan the timings around your day, whether that is a first dance, a lunch break or a service time.
Is a fish and chip van right for your event?
At larger events, a van adds to the mix and spreads the queues. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.

Events we cater in Sturry
Almost every visitor likes fish and chips, from families to older visitors.
Whatever the occasion in Sturry, fish and chips from the hatch goes down well. We are often booked for:
- Club open days
- Food for volunteers
- School fairs and sports days
- Summer fairs
Events in parks such as Chequer's Wood and Old Park need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
What to look for in a quote
- What the van needs: space, access, power
- When payment is due
- When final numbers are due
- Whether VAT is included
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Access that avoids crowds
- Details of any power or water on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At midsummer, events in Sturry stay light until about 9:15pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
