Fish and chip van for events in Wonersh, cooked to order

What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Agreement from the site for a catering van
- Details of any power or water on site

- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
