Fish and chip van for events for West Horsley events
DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
How our fish and chip van for events works in West Horsley
Give us the date, pitch and expected numbers, and we will let you know if we are available. We serve mushy peas, sausage and chips and cod and chips, and we are frequently booked for music and food festivals and church fêtes.
For events in a place like West Horsley, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Fish and chips does exactly that. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Where the van can park in West Horsley
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- What’s available on the pitch
- Access that avoids crowds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Tell us about the pitch
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
Put bins near the queue.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. Evening events in West Horsley have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Share the timings for the day
