Fish and chip van for events for Tilford Common events
Fish and chip van for events in Tilford Common, cooked to order
A van suits shows and field events, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. We serve mushy peas, chips and sausage and chips, and typical bookings are for fish and chip supper nights and feeding event crew.
For a village fête or field event near Tilford Common, a chip van brings hot food to a rural site. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We bring the van and everything we need to cook, and we leave the pitch tidy when we go.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December events in Tilford Common lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
