Running a fête for a church like Church of St Peter? A chip van draws people in. Events in parks such as Bay Pond need permission from the council or landowner, and the van needs a firm route onto the pitch.
Events anywhere in RH8 and RH9 start with a parking spot for the van and roughly how many visitors. That could mean an event at a home on Jackass Lane, Tandridge Lane and The Walk, wherever the van can park. If your venue is just outside Tandridge, we also cover Church Town (1 mile north-west), South Godstone (1 mile south-west), Hurst Green (2 miles east), Godstone (2 miles north-west) and Oxted (2 miles north-east).

Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan bins near food stalls

Planning the van’s spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
