For planners, venues and organisers
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. In summer, Rowly has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

Planning help
Why choose a fish and chip van in Rowly?
A trip out to a restaurant is hard for many residents. The van comes to the home. Fish and chip van prices depend on the booking. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Why Rowly hosts choose us
- No kitchen, no crockery, no washing up
- Everything cooked to order at your event
- Events in Rowly and across Surrey
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Choose a time around meals and medication
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Before you choose a spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Not blocking ambulance bays
- Firm, level ground close to the home
- With the serving side away from windows
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Rowly
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.
Do you come out to small places like Rowly?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Where will the van park?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
