Planning a chip van in TW15
There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in TW15, so the setting can be anything from Ashford, Ashford Common and Littleton Common to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.
Ashford: School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Spelthorne College, can book the van as a food stall. Churches such as Parish Church of St Matthew rarely have room for a van, but a hall or home close by normally does. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Ashford, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting by the hatch.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
A short menu keeps service quick.
Tables or benches nearby help people eat comfortably.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.

Your questions about a fish and chip van in TW15
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you have allergen information?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
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.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
