Fish and chip van for events in Weybridge
Fish and chip van for events for your event in Weybridge
We bring the van and everything we need to cook, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We’re often asked to cater music and food festivals and village fêtes, serving haddock and chips, mushy peas and sausage and chips.
Community events in Weybridge frequently rely on a few good food stalls. Fish and chips is a reliable draw. We keep the menu short: fewer choices means fresher food and shorter queues.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
If we are feeding volunteers, agree a time that suits the schedule.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.

How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. December events in Weybridge lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Weybridge questions
Can you come to a school fair in Weybridge?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Is Weybridge close to London?
About 18 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
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 coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
