Fish and chip van for events for your event in Surbiton Park
A hot-food van gives families a reason to stay longer, which is good for every other stall. Typical bookings include crew and volunteer catering and church fêtes, serving sausage and chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
In Surbiton Park, street events mean planning closures and access. Tell us the pitch details and timings. Every portion is cooked to order on the day, never cooked in advance and left in a hot cabinet.

London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We’ll plan around it.
Can you come to a school fair in Surbiton Park?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.

Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cakes and sandwiches are popular, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest how to make it work. A short menu is frequently the best value.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
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 normally the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who doesn’t want fish, and children love it.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, perfect with chips or a sausage.
- 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
