How our fish and chip van for events works in Sutton Wick
Organisers can book us as a trader, or to feed crew and volunteers, or both. We are often asked to cater village fêtes and summer fairs and sports days, with chips, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
For a village fête or field event near Sutton Wick, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. The menu is short on purpose: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.

If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet

Sutton Wick: your questions answered
Is Sutton Wick too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you trade at school fairs around Sutton Wick?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you do crew food?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can the van come to our fair?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we will check.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Before booking anyone
- Any travel, parking or access charges
- Any minimum charge
- What they can offer for dietary needs
- The deposit and payment dates
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For an evening event in Sutton Wick, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Get permission for the van from the venue
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually need. To ask for one, use our quote form.

Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
