Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
FAQs for Cuddington
Which station is closest to Cuddington?
Cheam station, about 0.7 miles east of the centre.
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
