About our fish and chip van for events in Tyler's Green
Few things draw a crowd at a fête or festival like the smell of fish and chips. Organisers get a trader almost everyone is happy to queue for. Whether it’s summer fairs and club open days, we will put together a menu of sausage and chips, chips and mushy peas for your guests.
At a fête or show near Tyler's Green, we can bring hot food to a field. Ground and access matter, so tell us about them. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.
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.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Common questions in Tyler's Green
Can the van park in Bay Pond?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Tyler's Green?
Caterham station, about 1.9 miles north of the centre.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van come to our fair?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll agree terms.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Step by step
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December events in Tyler's Green lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- 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
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
