You can keep it simple or plan it carefully: open service, or food at a fixed time. We’ll suggest what suits your event. On the menu are sausage and chips, gravy and curry sauce, and we’re often booked for big birthdays and community events and fairs.
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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.

Fish and chip van hire in SM2: local guide
SM2 covers everything from Ewell, Sutton and Shanklin Village to 1 small villages and hamlets, and a chip van suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning parking; village bookings mean planning access.
Shanklin Village: If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Harris Academy Sutton, a chip van is a crowd-pleaser. If you had Manor Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: vans can’t simply park up and serve in a public park. In Shanklin Village, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening events are typically served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
What a fish and chip van costs
The same numbers can mean different prices, because of:
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- The length of service
- Whether a minimum applies
- Distance and any road charges
Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Details that help
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- The venue or postcode
